Work Step by Step

We are given: $u=(2,3)\\ v=(4,-1)$ in $R^2$ Let $\theta$ be the angle between $u$ and $v$. We obtain: $\cos \theta=\frac{}{||u||.||v||}\\ =\frac{2.2.4+3.(-1)}{\sqrt 2.2.2+3.3.\sqrt 2.4.4+(-1).(-1)}\\ =\frac{13}{\sqrt 17.\sqrt 33}\\ =\frac{13\sqrt 561}{561}$ $\rightarrow \theta=\arccos(\frac{13\sqrt 561}{561})$ Consider $u=(-2,-1,2,4)\\ v=(-3,5,1,1)$ in $R^4$ We have: $\cos \theta=\frac{}{||u||.||v||}\\ =\frac{2.(-2).(-3)+(-1).5+2.1+4.1}{\sqrt 2.(-2).(-2)+(-1)(-1)+2.2+4.4.\sqrt 2.(-3).(-3)+5.5+1.1+1.1}\\ =\frac{13}{\sqrt 29.\sqrt 45}\\ =\frac{13\sqrt 145}{435}$ $\rightarrow \theta=\arccos(\frac{13\sqrt 561}{561})$
