The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the vectors \(2\vec{a}\) and \(-3\vec{b}\) given that the angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information**: - The angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\). 2. **Understand the Transformation of Vectors**: - The vector \(2\vec{a}\) is simply \(\vec{a}\) scaled by a factor of 2. This means the direction of \(2\vec{a}\) remains the same as that of \(\vec{a}\). - The vector \(-3\vec{b}\) is the vector \(\vec{b}\) scaled by -3. This means the magnitude is 3 times that of \(\vec{b}\), but the direction is reversed. 3. **Determine the New Angle**: - The angle between \(2\vec{a}\) and \(-3\vec{b}\) can be found by considering the original angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\). - Since \(-3\vec{b}\) is in the opposite direction of \(\vec{b}\), the angle between \(2\vec{a}\) and \(-3\vec{b}\) will be the supplementary angle to the original angle. - The supplementary angle can be calculated as: \[ \text{New Angle} = \pi - \frac{\pi}{3} \] 4. **Calculate the New Angle**: - Simplifying the expression: \[ \text{New Angle} = \pi - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{3\pi}{3} - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{2\pi}{3} \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The angle between \(2\vec{a}\) and \(-3\vec{b}\) is \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\). ### Final Answer: The angle between \(2\vec{a}\) and \(-3\vec{b}\) is \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\). ---
