Find the angle between the given vectors to the nearest tenth of a degree. u = <-5, -4>, v = <-4, -3> 0.9° -9.1° 1.8° 11.8°
i think its 0.9 but lol just wanna clarify
HI!!
ok that was wrong sorry
so let me see im confused on how to set it up lol would you mind showing me! the steps and stuff :) @misty1212
lol i figured i did something wrong lol
take the dot product, you get \(32\) if i am not mistake
then divide by the norm of both vectors you know how to find that?
no lol
not sure what the norm would be
\[||<-5,-4>|=\sqrt{5^2+4^2}\] just like pythatoras
mhm i see
so \[\frac{32}{\sqrt{41}\sqrt{25}}\]
then take the arc cosine
mhm im watching
now you need a calculator i would use this http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=arccos%2832%2F%285*sqrt%2841%29%29%29
so i put that in and i got really weird numbers lol
0.0312398334 rad
@misty1212 can you show me what it is please lol im confused
your calculator is in radian mode, but your answers are in degrees
either put your calculator in degree mode, or just click on the link i sent the answer is there, both in degrees and in radians
hmm i just dont know what the answer would be feel like im mixing all my numbers up lol
1.7899106065º i converted the radians to degrees
oh its 1.8!!! okay
