The angle between the vectors a = i +2 j +2 k and b = i +2 j -2 k is
Options
- A⁻¹(1 / 9)
- B⁻¹(8 / 9)
- C⁻¹(8 / 9)
- D⁻¹(1 / 9)
Correct answer
D. ⁻¹(1 / 9)
Step-by-step solution
We have, a = i +2 j +2 k and b = i +2 j -2 k Clearly, | a |= 1+4+4 = 9 =3 array ll and & | b |= 1+4+4 = 9 =3 & a b =|a||b| & = 1 1+2 2+2 (-2) 3 3 & = 1+4-4 9 = 1 9 & = ⁻¹ ( 1 9 ) array
