Question 31 GCE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2017 • MATHEMATICS • objective

Two vectors \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) lie in the same plane. The magnitude of \(\mathbf{a}\) is \(5\) units. It is known that \(\mathbf{a}+2\mathbf{b}\) is perpendicular to \(\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{b}\) and that the magnitude of \(\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b}\) is \(7\) units. Determine the magnitude of \(\mathbf{b}\) (to two decimal places) and the angle between \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) (to one decimal place).

Answer Options

A. |β| = 4.00 units (to 2 d.p.) and the angle between \mathbf{a} and \mathbf{b} is 70.0° (to 1 d.p.)
Correct Answer B. |β| = 3.85 units (to 2 d.p.) and the angle between \mathbf{a} and \mathbf{b} is 76.2° (to 1 d.p.)
C. |β| = 4.12 units (to 2 d.p.) and the angle between \mathbf{a} and \mathbf{b} is 68.5° (to 1 d.p.)
D. |β| = 3.60 units (to 2 d.p.) and the angle between \mathbf{a} and \mathbf{b} is 80.1° (to 1 d.p.)
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
|β| = 3.85 units (to 2 d.p.) and the angle between \mathbf{a} and \mathbf{b} is 76.2° (to 1 d.p.)
