Answer:

98.5 degrees

Explanation:

To find the angle measurement between two vectors use: cos(theta)=(u dot v)/(|u|*|v|)

The vectors are u=sqrt(5)i-8j and v=sqrt(5)i+1j .

So find the dot product of u and v. u dot v=sqrt5*sqrt(5)+(-8)*(1)=5-8=-3.

Second step: Find the magnitude of both vectors. So to find the magnitude of a vector, let's call it t when t=ai+bj, you just do |t|=sqrt(a^2+b^2).

|u|=sqrt(5+64)=sqrt(69) and |v|=sqrt(5+1)=sqrt(6)

Now multiply your magnitudes of your vectors: sqrt(69)*sqrt(6)=sqrt(414).

So now we have:

cos(theta)=-3/sqrt(414)

Now arccos( ) or cos^(-1) to find the angle theta.

theta=cos^(-1)[-3/sqrt(414)] which is approximately 98.5 degrees.

Answer:

Ans 1) The correct option is B) 98.5

Ans 2) The correct option is C)
√(5)

Explanation:

The angle measurement between two vectors by:


cos(\theta)=((u.v))/((|u|* |v|))

Magnitude of vector t=ai+bj, calculated by:


|t|=\sqrt{a^(2)+b^(2)}

The given vectors are
u=√(5)i-8j and
v=√(5)i+1j

First find the dot product of u and v;


u.v=(√(5)i-8j)(√(5)i+1j) = 5-8= - 3

Now, Find the magnitude of both vectors u and v.


|u|=\sqrt{(√(5))^(2)+8^(2)}


|u|=√(5+64)


|u|=√(69)

and


|v|=\sqrt{(√(5))^(2)+1^(2)}


|v|=√(5+1)


|v|=√(6)

Now, put the all values in
cos(\theta)=((u.v))/((|u|* |v|))


cos(\theta)=(-3)/(√(69) * √(6))


=(-3)/(414)

take arc cos both the sides,


\theta=cos^(-1) (-3)/(\414)


\theta=98.5 \degree (approx)

Therefore, the correct option is B) 98.5

Ans 2) calculate IvI by

If t= ai +bj then magnitute is
\sqrt{a^(2)+b^(2)}

Given : v = (-2,-1)

it means v = -2i -1 j


|v| =\sqrt{(-2)^(2)+(-1)^(2)}


|v| =√(4+1)


|v| =√(5)

Therefore, the correct option is C)
√(5)
