. Find the angle between
vectors u and v.
Solution: The angle between two vectors can be found using the
dot product formula:
cos θ=u·v
∥u∥·∥v∥
Substitute the values for u and v:
u·v= 2 ·4+(−1) ·5+3·1=8−5 + 3 = 6
∥u∥=p22+ (−1)2+ 32=√4 + 1 + 9 = √14

Given points A(2,−3,4) and B(−1,5,−2), we can substitute the co-
ordinates into the formula:
d=p((−1) −2)2+ (5 −(−3))2+ ((−2) −4)2
d=p(−3)2+ (8)2+ (−6)2
d=√9 + 64 + 36
d=√109
d≈10.44
Therefore, the distance between points A(2,−3,4) and B(−1,5,−2)
in Euclidean space is approximately 10.44 units.

be vectors in R3.
a) Find the dot product u ·v.
b) Determine whether the vectors u and v are orthogonal.
c) Find the projection of u onto v.
Step-by-step solutions:
a) For the dot product of two vectors u and v, we use the formula
u·v=u1v1+u2v2+u3v3, where u1, u2, u3are the components of u and
v1, v2, v3are the components of v.
Plugging in the values, we have:
u·v= (−3)(1) + (2)(−1) + (4)(2) = −3−2 + 8 = 3
Therefore, u ·v= 3.
b) Two vectors u and v are orthogonal if their dot product is zero,
i.e., u ·v= 0.
In this case, we found u ·v= 3, which is not zero. Therefore, the
vectors u and v are not orthogonal.
c) The projection of vector u onto vector v is given by:
projvu=u·v
∥v∥2v
First, calculate ∥v∥:
∥v∥=p12+ (−1)2+ 22=√1 + 1 + 4 = √6
