Answer:

The angle between the given vectors u and v is [tex]\theta=cos^{-1}\left[\frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}\right][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given vectors are [tex]\overrightarrow{u}=(3,4)[/tex] and [tex]\overrightarrow{v}=(1,3)[/tex]

Now compute the dot product of u and v:

[tex]\overrightarrow{u}.\overrightarrow{v}=(3,4).(1,3)[/tex]

  [tex]=(3)(1)+(4)(3)[/tex]

  [tex]=3+12[/tex]

 [tex]=15[/tex]

Now find the magnitude of u and v:

[tex]|\overrightarrow{u}|=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}[/tex]

[tex]=\sqrt{9+16}[/tex]

[tex]=\sqrt{25}[/tex]

[tex]=5[/tex]

[tex]|\overrightarrow{u}|=5[/tex]

[tex]|\overrightarrow{v}|=\sqrt{1^2+3^2}[/tex]

[tex]=\sqrt{1+9}[/tex]

[tex]=\sqrt{10}[/tex]

[tex]|\overrightarrow{v}|=\sqrt{10}[/tex]

To find the angle between the given vectors

[tex]\overrightarrow{u}.\overrightarrow{v}=|\overrightarrow{u}|\overrightarrow{v}|cos\theta[/tex]

[tex]\theta=cos^{-1}\left[\frac{\overrightarrow{u}.\overrightarrow{v}}{|\overrightarrow{u}|\overrightarrow{v}|}\right][/tex]

[tex]=cos^{-1}\left[\frac{15}{5\times \sqrt{10}}\right][/tex]

[tex]=cos^{-1}\left[\frac{15}{5\times \sqrt{10}}\right][/tex]

[tex]\theta=cos^{-1}\left[\frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}\right][/tex]

Therefore the angle between the vectors u and v is

[tex]\theta=cos^{-1}\left[\frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}\right][/tex]
