a.For n =2,3,4 , find the angleθbetween role="math" localid="1659432008110" u⊥and v⊥. For n=2and 3, represent the vectors graphically.

b.Find the limit of θas napproaches infinity.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The angles between the vectorsu⊥andv⊥forn=2,3,4areθ2=45°,θ3=54.74°,θ4=60°, where the graphical representation is,

Forn=2.

For n=3.

(b). When n approaches infinity, u⊥approaches infinity, and θapproaches 90°.

Step by step solution

01

Angle between the vectors  

First find the angles between the vectorsn=2,n=3andn=4.

Consider the solution below.

Forn=2.

θ2=arccosu⊥.v⊥ur.ur=arccos1,1T.1,012+1212+0=arccos12=45°

Consider the graph for n=2.

For n=3.

θ3=arccosu⊥.v⊥ur.ur=arccos1,1,1T.1,0,012+12+1212+02+02=arccos13=54.74°

Consider the graph for n=3.

For n=4.

θ4=arccosu⊥.v⊥ur.ur=arccos1,1,1,1T.1,0,0,012+12+12+1212+02+02+02=arccos12=60°

02

Limit of θ

We can see that θn=arccos1n. Since, the only thing that changes are the length of the vector u⊥. Let’s find out the limit of θ when n approaches infinity. Keep in mind that arcos is a continuous function.

Observe the following.

θ=limn→∞θn=limn→∞arccos1n=arccoslimn→∞1n=arccos1∞=arccos0=90°

Hence, the angles between the vectors u⊥and v⊥for n=2,3,4 are θ2=45°,θ3=54.74°,θ4=60°.

When n approaches infinity, u⊥approaches infinity, and θapproaches90°.
