The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{c}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the relationships between the vectors Given: \[ \vec{a} = 8\vec{b} \] \[ \vec{c} = -7\vec{b} \] ### Step 2: Understand the direction of the vectors Both vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{c}\) are expressed in terms of \(\vec{b}\). The vector \(\vec{a}\) is a scalar multiple of \(\vec{b}\) in the positive direction, while \(\vec{c}\) is a scalar multiple of \(\vec{b}\) in the negative direction. ### Step 3: Determine the relationship between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{c}\) Since \(\vec{c} = -7\vec{b}\), we can rewrite \(\vec{c}\) as: \[ \vec{c} = -7\vec{b} = 7(-\vec{b}) \] This indicates that \(\vec{c}\) is in the opposite direction to \(\vec{b}\). ### Step 4: Analyze the angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{c}\) Since \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{c}\) are both collinear and point in opposite directions, the angle between them is: \[ \theta = \pi \text{ radians} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{c}\) is \(\pi\) radians. ### Final Answer The angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{c}\) is (A) \(\pi\). ---
