If be the angle between the unit vectors a and b, then 2 is equal to
Options
- A1 2 |a-b|
- B1 2 |a+b|
- C|a-b| |a+b|
- D|a+b| |a-b|
Correct answer
B. 1 2 |a+b|
Step-by-step solution
aligned ( a + b ) ( a + b ) & = | a ^2 |+ | b ^2 |+2 a b & =1+1+2(1)(1) =2+2 a + b ^2 & =2 2 ^2 2 2 & = 1 2 | a + b | aligned
