Find the angle between the given vectors to the nearest tenth of a degree. u = <6, -1>, v = <7, -4>

Please someone reply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no I idea what that means

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use dot product of the vectors...in this case u.v=lul lvl cos(theta)... Find magnitudes of u and v and on LHS use rule of dot product..i;e multiply x componets togather and y components togather and add them scalarly.. Solve for cos (theta) and take arc cos to get answer

got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thinks so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 6*7 + -1*-4 / sqrt6+7 sqrt-1+-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos(theta)=(6*7+-1*-4)/[sqrt(6^2+1^2) sqrt(7^2+4^2)]...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 20.3 as the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes...My medal?
