v=-2i+5j, whats the magnitude and direction angle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so -2 is your x component. 5 is your y component. Tan(theta)=y/x. So since you have y and x just use ArcTan[y/x] = theta

Magnitude is the just the distance formula from sqrt(x^2+y^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is because magnitude is the length of the vector. |dw:1328936157382:dw|
