Find value a when the angle between vectors U=(2,a) and V = (-6;8) is pie/4​

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the angle between 2 vectors is

which is the dot product of u*v over the (magnitude of u times the magnitude of v). We also know that θ = . Filling in that formula requires us to find the dot product of u and v, which is

u·v = (2×(-6)) + (a×8) so

u·v = -12 + 8a. Then we need the magnitudes of both u and v:

and

Putting all of together looks like this:

. Cross multiply to get

which is tricky to simplify. You really need to know the rules for multiplying radicals to do this correctly. The simplification is

and we need to solve for a. Begin by squaring both sides to get rid of the square root to get:

100(8 + 2a²) = 256a² - 768a +576 and simplify some more by distributing through the parenthesis to get

800 + 200a² = 256a² -768a + 576. Combine like terms to come up with

0 = 56a² - 768a - 224 and we need to factor that. Assuming since you're this far in math (pre-calc or maybe late algebra 2) you know how to factor, when you do, you get values for a of - .285714... and 14.

Therefore, the value for a is 14. I checked it...it works

the camry sales+accord sale=828,000. to make it so the two numbers are 18 thousand apart and still equal 828,000, you first need to find out what half of 828,000 is. 828,000/2=414,000. for the two numbers to equal 828,000, you have to add the same amount as you subtract from the middle. in this case, the number is 9,000 because it's half of 18,000. to equal 828,000, you have to add 9,000 to 414,000 for the camry and subtract 9,000 from 414,000 for the accord. 414,000+9,000=423,000.

414,000-9,000=405,000.

423,000+405,000=828,000.

423,000-405,000=18,
