Finding the Angle Between Two Vectors

The video tutorial explains how to find the angle between two vectors using the cosine of the angle, which is derived from the dot product and magnitudes of the vectors. It covers calculating the magnitudes of vectors, simplifying square roots, and computing the dot product. Finally, it demonstrates finding the angle using the inverse cosine function.

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

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

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

• cos(theta) = (u + v) / (|u| + |v|)

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

How do you calculate the magnitude of a vector?

• Square of the sum of its components

• Square root of the sum of the squares of its components

• Sum of the components

• Sum of the squares of its components
