Determining Angles Between Vectors

The video tutorial explains how to find the angle between two vectors, u and v. It begins by introducing the vectors and the task of finding the angle between them. The instructor then explains the dot product and how to calculate it for the given vectors. Next, the magnitudes of the vectors are calculated. Finally, the angle is determined using the dot product and magnitudes, with the result verified using a calculator.

What is the formula to find the angle between two vectors?

• cos(theta) = (u dot v) / (|u| * |v|)

• cos(theta) = (u + v) / (|u| + |v|)

• cos(theta) = (u dot v) - (|u| * |v|)

• cos(theta) = (u dot v) / (|u| - |v|)
