Answer:

Angle between the given vectors is approximately 100.89 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

[tex]a=[0,1,1], B=[1,2,-3][/tex]

We have to find angle between the two vectors.

First we evaluate the dot product for the given vectors.

[tex]a.b = (0.1) + (1.2) + (1.-3) \\=-1[/tex]

The magnitude of the vectors can be calculated in the following manner

[tex]|a| = \sqrt{0^2 + 1^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{2}\\|b| = \sqrt{1^2 + 2^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{14}[/tex]

Formula:

[tex]a.b = |a| |b| \cos \theta\\\text{where theta is the angle between the two vectors}[/tex]

Putting the values, we get,

[tex]-1 = (\sqrt2)(\sqrt{14})\cos \theta\\\\\cos \theta = \displaystyle\frac{-1}{2\sqrt7}\\\\\theta = \arccos(\frac{-1}{2\sqrt7})\\\\\theta \approx  1.76\text{ radians}\\\theta \approx 100.89\text{ degrees}[/tex]

Angle between the given vectors is approximately 100.89 degrees.
