Find the angle between the vectors (-9, -8) and (-9,5). Carry your intermediate computations to at least 4 decimalplaces. Round your final answer to the nearest degree.| 。x 6 ?

Respuesta :

The vector for (-9,-8) is,

[tex]u=-9\hat{i}-8\hat{j}[/tex]

The vector for (-9,5) is,

[tex]v=-9\hat{i}+5\hat{j}[/tex]

The formula for the angle between vector u and vector v is,

[tex]\cos \theta=\frac{u\cdot v}{|u\mleft\Vert v\mright|}[/tex]

Determine the angle between vectors.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=\frac{(-9\hat{i}-8\hat{j)}\cdot(-9\hat{i}+5\hat{j})}{\sqrt[]{(-9)^2+(-8)^2}\cdot\sqrt[]{(-9)^2+(5)^2}} \\ =\frac{81-40}{\sqrt[]{145}\cdot\sqrt[]{106}} \\ =\frac{41}{\sqrt[]{15370}} \\ \theta=\cos ^{-1}(0.3307) \\ =70.688 \\ \approx71 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So angle between the vector is 71 degree.
