Homework Help Overview
The problem involves finding the angle between two vectors, u and v, using the dot product and magnitudes of the vectors. The original poster attempts to calculate the angle but receives feedback indicating their answer may be incorrect.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Assumption checking
Approaches and Questions Raised
- Participants discuss the possibility that the original poster's answer might be in the wrong unit (degrees vs. radians) and question the lack of specification in the assignment regarding the unit of measurement.
Discussion Status
The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring the implications of angle measurement units and sharing personal experiences related to the conventions of angle measurement in their studies. There is no explicit consensus on the correct approach yet.
Contextual Notes
Participants note that the assignment does not specify whether angles should be reported in degrees or radians, which adds to the confusion. There is also mention of the constraints of the webwork assignment format, which limits verification of answers.
Well, what counts is that I know I did it right. Thanks phyzmatix
