Find the angle, in degrees, between the vectors <1,2> and <−6,3>. Round answer to nearest hundredth if necessary. Then determine if vectors are orthogonal.
Added by Carlos H.
Step 1
The dot product of two vectors <a,b> and <c,d> is given by: a*c + b*d. So, the dot product of <1,2> and <-6,3> is: 1*(-6) + 2*3 = -6 + 6 = 0. Show more…
