Answer

$\theta=\arccos(\frac{7}{30})$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $u=(-2,-1,2,4)\\ v=(-3,5,1,1)$ in $R^4$ Let $\theta$ be the angle between $u$ and $v$. We obtain: $$\cos \theta=\frac{}{||u||.||v||}\\ =\frac{(-2).(-3)+5.(-1)+2.1+4.1}{\sqrt (-2)^2+(-1)^2+2^2+4^2.\sqrt (-3)^2+5^2+1^2+1^2}\\ =\frac{7}{\sqrt 30}$$ $$\rightarrow \theta=\arccos(\frac{7}{30})$$
