jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what you have is correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

maybe they want you to type it in a very specific way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would like to believe that isnt the case xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it said as a hint that it Fx and Fy isnt dependant on the variables Cos and Sin

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well cos and sin aren't variables, they're functions

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so maybe the system is confused

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

try F*cos(theta), F*sin(theta)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Term 1: The correct answer does not depend on the variables: C, o, s. Term 2: The correct answer does not depend on the variables: S, i, n. and yea i found it wierd that they called cos and sin variables too and just tried it and still wrong lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah they are thinking "cos" is really three variables c, o, s and you're saying c*o*s which is far from what you want

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

try \cos that's the LaTex version of cosine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i found the problem, i put Cos (theta) when they wanted cos(theta) with a common c -_-

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

lame

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ikr! lol thx a bunch though :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
