Let u and v be vectors of length 4 and 3, respectively, and suppose that Find (u - v) (2u - 3v) and ||u + u||. The two vectors u + v and u - 3v are orthogonal. Find the angle between u and u if ||u|| =2||v||. Given the points A(-1,0) and B(2,3) in the plane, find all points C such that A, B and C are the vertices of a right triangle with a right angle at A and with Prove that (ac + 3bd)^2
Solution
4) given length of u=4 , v=3 and u.v = 8
(u -v) . (2u -3v) = 2u^2 - 3v.u -2v.u + 3v^2
= 2(u)^2 -5u.v +3v^2
= 2(4)^2 -5*8 +3(3)^2
= 2(16) - 40 +3(9)
=32 -40 +27
=59 -40
=19
to find|u+v|
square |u+v|
|u+v|^2 = u^2 +v^2 +2u.v
= 4^2 +3^2 +2 *8
=16 +9+16
|u+v|^2 =41
then |u+v| = sqrt(41)
b) . given u +v and u -3v are othgonal
then (u+v) . (u-3v) =0
u.u -3v.u + v.u -3v^2
and given |u|= 2|v|
4v^2 -2u.v -3v^2 =0
-2(2v) .v cos(theta) = -v^2
-4v^2 cos(theta) = -v^2
cos(theta) =1/4
theta = arc cos(1/4)
