How do you find the angle between two vectors?

Using cosine rule a.b = |a||b|cos(theta) and the example vectors a = (1,2,3) and b = (3,2,1),First explain why the cosine rule exists, use a geometric proof of the cosine rule. Show the magintude of a=b=root(14) and a.b = 10, show cos(theta) = 5/7

How to differentiate x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 6y = 5


Differentiate(dx) xy+4y-13


Use the addition formulas: sin(x+y)=sin(x)*cos(y)+sin(y)*cos(x), cos(x+y)=cos(x)*cos(y)-sin(x)*sin(y) to derive sin(2x), cos(2x), sin(x)+sin(y).


g(x) = e^(x-1) + x - 6 Show that the equation g(x) = 0 can be written as x = ln(6 - x) + 1, where x<6
