Find the measure of the angle between the vectors 〈6, –3, 1〉 and 〈8, 9, –11〉

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for two vectors:

A = 〈a₁, a₂, a₃ 〉and  B =〈b₁, b₂, b₃〉.

The dot product between A and B is:

A.B = IAI*IBI*cos(θ)

Where θ is the angle between the vectors.

And the dot product can be also written as:

A.B = a₁*b₁ + a₂*b₂ + a₃*b₃

With that, we can find the angle between our vectors.

In this case, the vectors are:

A = 〈6, –3, 1〉 and B = 〈8, 9, –11〉

The modules are:

IAI = √( 6^2 + (-3)^2 + 1^2) = 6.78

IBI = √( 8^2 + 9^2 + (-11)^2) = 16.31

And the dot product between A and B is:

A.B = 6*8 + (-3)*9 + 1*(-11) = 10

Then we have that:

10 = IAI*IBI*cos(θ) = ( 6.78)*(16.31)*cos(θ)

10/(6.78*16.31) = cos(θ)

Now remember the inverse cosine function, Acos(x), this function has the property:

Acos(cos(x)) = x

If we apply this to both sides, we get:

Acos(10/(6.78*16.31)) = Acos(cos(θ)) = θ = 84.8°

The correct option is C.

Problem 1

Answer: Independent

The reason why is because each bag is separate from one another, so one event doesn't affect the other. If we know the result of what we pulled out of one bag, it doesn't change the probability of the other event.

======================================

Problem 2

Answer: Dependent

Assuming you do not put the first card back, then the probability of picking a King on the second draw will be different than if you picked a King on the first draw. With all 52 cards in the deck, the probability of getting a king is 4/52 = 1/13. It changes to 4/51 after we picked out an ace for the first card (and didn't put that first card back).
