The greatest resultant of two vectors ve...

The greatest resultant of two vectors `vec P` and `vec Q` is (n) times their least reast resultant. Fiven
`| vec P | gt |vec Q|`. When `theta` is the angle between the two vectors, their resultant is half the sum of the two vectors. Show that,
`cos theta =- (n^(2) +2) // (n n^(2) -1)`.

To solve the problem, we need to derive the relationship between the angle θ and the given conditions about the vectors P and Q. Let's go through the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Define the Greatest and Least Resultants The greatest resultant \( R_{max} \) of two vectors \( \vec{P} \) and \( \vec{Q} \) is given by: \[ R_{max} = |\vec{P}| + |\vec{Q}| \] The least resultant \( R_{min} \) is given by: ...
