PLEASE help!!! Geometry question- I really need to submit my assignment and I have no idea how to do these...

1 complete rotation means 360

OpenStudy (dan815):

20 secs it takes 1 full rotation so 4 secs it makes?

OpenStudy (dan815):

4 = 20/5 so 4 = 1/5 th of a full rotation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

72?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And what about the 2nd one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if it takes 20 seconds to make a full revolution, then how far have you gone in 5 seconds?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

72 degrees?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

1/2 a revolution? 3/4 of a revolution? 1/4 of a revolution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused..

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

5 seconds/20 seconds = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh 1/4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you've gone 1/4 of a full 360 degree revolution

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(1/4)*360 = 90 degrees

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you've rotated 90 degrees CCW

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the rule for that is (x,y) ----> (-y,x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (-3,4) ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then was 72 right for the first one?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you! And could you also help me with these? Someone tried explaining them to me earlier but I couldn't get it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you posted the same thing twice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

idk you posted #2 twice, so some info is missing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, i left out the first one. 1 sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how do you go from point T do line DC?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

to*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

move to the right two and up one i think

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, so the vector is <2,1>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

<p,q> means you move p units on the x and q units on the y

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

p positive ---> move to the right p negative ---> move to the left etc etc

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

same question, just going from from where we stopped earlier to point H

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4, -2?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep go 4 to the right, 2 down

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

these aren't too bad right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. :) So it would be <4, -2> ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then for the last one it would be <6, -1> ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

vectors are like directions to move from point to point ie they're like translations

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, if you add the vectors, you are essentially going from point A to C (instead of going from A to B, then to C)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you are taking the direct route from beginning to end (without the pitstop)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks! Could you double check these 2 for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what a mess....not sure where things should line up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean?:o

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I don't think it's 180 though

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it looks more like 30 or 45, not sure though

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's very hard to see the pic and where things should line up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I'm just gonna go with 45, haha. But how do I figure out the 2nd one if I'm using 45?:o

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if it was 45, then, 24/360 = x/45 1/15 = x/45 1*45 = 15x 15x = 45 x = 45/15 x = 3 So it was open 3 hours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh okay. Thank you!
