If \( \theta(0 \leq \theta \leq \pi) \) is the angle between the vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) , then \( \frac{|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|}{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}} \) equals
Step-by-step Solution:
\[
\frac{|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|}{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}} = ?
\]
Let \( \theta \) be the angle between the vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \), where \( 0 < \theta < \pi \).
Step 1: Use the formulas:
Magnitude of cross product:
\[
|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = |\vec{a}||\vec{b}|\sin\theta
\]
Dot product:
\[
\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = |\vec{a}||\vec{b}|\cos\theta
\]
Step 2: Plug into the expression:
\[
\frac{|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|}{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}} = \frac{|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|\sin\theta}{|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|\cos\theta}
= \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}
= \tan\theta
\]
Final Answer:
\(
{\tan\theta}
