The angle between two vectors u=i-3j and v=ai+5j is 120°. Find a correct to 1 decimal place.
I've tried substituting into the scalar equation but I can't get the answer

What do you end up with in your working?

I'm also stuck on this one:
Find vector b given a = 3i - j, a•b = -6 , and the angle between a and b is 30°.

I worked it out, and my answers are 24.4 and -4.4. However, the text book says 4.4 or -24.4. Why is that?
You should probably show us the steps in your working, in order for us to be able to answer that.
