Given w = |v|∙ u + |u| ∙ v. If θ = ∠(u ∙ w) and φ = ∠(v ∙ w) then ….
a. Φ – θ = 90°
b. θ + φ= 90°
c. θ = φ
d. θ – φ = 90°
e. θ – φ = 180°
What I have done:
\(\displaystyle \cos\theta=\frac{u\cdot w}{|u||w|}\) and \(\displaystyle \cos\phi=\frac{v\cdot w}{|v||w|}\)
Then I substituted them as |v| and |u| to the given equation and got:
\(\displaystyle w=\frac{v\cdot w}{|w|\cos\phi}\cdot u+\frac{u\cdot w}{|w|\cos\theta}\cdot v\)
What to do after this? I am stuck.
