(u2v)=(2,3,4)2(1,2,0)=(4,7,4)(u-2v) = (2,-3,4) - 2\cdot(-1,2,0) = (4,-7,4)

(u+2w)=(2,3,4)+2(5,1,2)=(12,5,8)(u+2w) = (2,-3,4) + 2\cdot(5,-1,2) = (12, -5, 8)

The angle α\alpha between two vectors a\vec{a} and b\vec{b} can be obtained as cosα=abab.\cos\alpha = \dfrac{\vec{a}\cdot\vec{b}}{|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|}.

cosα=412+(7)(5)+4842+(7)2+42122+(5)2+82,cosα=1159233,α=33.2.\cos\alpha = \dfrac{4\cdot12+(-7)\cdot(-5)+4\cdot8}{\sqrt{4^2+(-7)^2+4^2}\sqrt{12^2+(-5)^2+8^2}},\\ \cos\alpha = \dfrac{115}{9\cdot\sqrt{233}}, \\ \alpha = 33.2^\circ.
