(23) Let a^→  =  (((  7)),((24)) )   and  b^→  =  (((   3)),((−4)) )                    a^→ .b^→  = (7)(3) + (24)(−4) = 21−96 = −75                  a =  (√(7^2 +24^2 )) = (√(49+576)) = (√(625)) = 25                  b =  (√(3^2 +(−4)^2 )) = (√(9+16)) = (√(25)) = 5              a.b = 25 . 5 =  125              Let θ be the angle between a^→  and b^→ .           cosθ = ((a^→ .b^→ )/(a.b)) = ((−75)/(125)) = −0.6 = cos126.87°            ∴  θ = 126.87°
