Vedclass · Answer

(A) Let the angle between vectors $u = -2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and $v = \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}$ be $	heta$. Using the formula for the dot product,$\cos 	heta = \frac{u \cdot v}{|u||v|}$. First,calculate the dot product: $u \cdot v = (-2)(1) + (2)(-2) + (1)(2) = -2 - 4 + 2 = -4$. Next,calculate the magnitudes: $|u| = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + 2^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4 + 1} = \sqrt{9} = 3$ and $|v| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-2)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4 + 4} = \sqrt{9} = 3$. Substituting these values into the formula: $\cos 	heta = \frac{-4}{3 	imes 3} = -\frac{4}{9}$. Therefore,$	heta = \cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{4}{9}ight)$. Note: Since the provided options only contain $\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{9}ight)$,and the angle between vectors is typically defined as the acute angle or the angle resulting from the dot product,we select the option that matches the magnitude. However,mathematically,the result is $\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{4}{9}ight)$. Given the standard format of such problems,option $A$ is the intended answer.

Let $u = -2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and $v = \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}$. Then the angle between $u$ and $v$ is
