Answer:

The angle between (2,2,4) and (2,-1,1) is 60º.

Step-by-step explanation:

From linear algebra, we can determine the angle between both vectors by definition of dot point:

\cos \theta = \frac{\vec u\bullet \vec v}{\|\vec u\|\cdot \| \vec v\|} (1)

Where:

\vec u, \vec v - Vectors.

\|\vec u\|, \|\vec v\| - Norms of vectors.

\theta - Angle between vectors, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that \vec u = (2,2,4) and \vec v = (2,-1,1), then angle between vectors is:

\|\vec u\| = \sqrt{\vec u\bullet \vec u} (2)

\|\vec u\| = \sqrt{2^{2}+2^{2}+4^{2}}

\|\vec u\| \approx 4.899

\|\vec v\| = \sqrt{\vec v\bullet \vec v} (3)

\|\vec v\| = \sqrt{2^{2}+(-1)^{2}+1^{2}}

\|\vec v\| \approx 2.450

\vec u \bullet \vec v = (2,2,4)\bullet (2,-1,1)

\vec u \bullet \vec v = 4-2+4

\vec u \bullet \vec v = 6

\cos \theta = \frac{6}{(4.899)\cdot (2.450)}

\cos \theta = 0.5

\theta = 60^{\circ}

The angle between (2,2,4) and (2,-1,1) is 60º.

Which phrase describes the algebraic expression 7/8y-3​
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The algebraic expression uses the terms to denote symbols

sum of means addition

difference of means subtraction

product of means multiplication

quotient of means division

Here we have the term 6x

which actually means 6 times x or

6 multiplied by x

hence by multiplication we use the word product of

so we have the product of 6 and a number as our right answer
