Find the angle between the two vectors u, and v if u= <3,1> and v=<2,-3>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know that v.u (scalar product) is equal to: |v||u|cos(a),(a is the angle) so cos(a)=v.u/(|v||u|), and soooo angle a=acos(v.u/(|v||u|)) calculate you scalar product with the coordinates and you made it! (wait, you know scalar product?)

somewhat..

Sorry I'm not english, what you mean for somewhat? :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dnt know much about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, trigonometric function? Sine cosine.. etc?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the math you have studied to resolv this problem? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i know sine and cosine i am currently taking trigonometry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So this is a problem of angle of a triangle, draw your vectors :)
