Question
For each x in \((-\infty,+\infty)\), let u(x) be the vector from the origin to the point \(P(x, y)\) on the curve \(y=x^{2}+1\), and v(x) the vector from the origin to the point \(Q(x, y)\) on the line \(y=-x-1\)
(a) Use a CAS to find, to the nearest degree, the minimum angle between u(x) and v(x) for x in \((-\infty,+\infty)\).
(b) Determine whether there are any real values of x for which u(x) and v(x) are orthogonal.
