Solution

Sure, to find the angle between two vectors, we can use the formula:

cos θ = (A . B) / (||A|| ||B||)

where:

  • A . B is the dot product of A and B
  • ||A|| is the magnitude of A
  • ||B|| is the magnitude of B

Let's denote A = (i + j + k) and B = (i + j - k).

Step 1: Calculate the dot product (A . B) A . B = (11 + 11 + 1*(-1)) = 1

Step 2: Calculate the magnitudes of A and B ||A|| = sqrt(1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2) = sqrt(3) ||B|| = sqrt(1^2 + 1^2 + (-1)^2) = sqrt(3)

Step 3: Substitute these values into the formula cos θ = 1 / (sqrt(3) * sqrt(3)) = 1/3

Step 4: Find the angle θ = arccos(1/3)

This is the angle between the two vectors.
