Chapter 1, Problem 8 Chapter 1, Problem 12

Demonstrate the ambiguity that results when the
cross product is used to find the angle between two
vectors by finding the angle between A = 3ax − 2ay
+ 4az and B = 2ax + ay − 2az. Does this ambiguity
exist when the dot product is used?
Write an expression in rectangular components for
the vector that extends from (x1, y1, z1) to (x2, y2,
z2) and determine the magnitude of this vector.
