vectors ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

Determine whether the vectors u and v are parallel, orthogonal, or neither. u = <6, -2>, v = <8, 24>

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

you answered my koala :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dot product again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was too cute, couldn't help it find the dot product if it is zero then they are "orthogonal"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6\times 8+(-2)\times 24=0\] i think so they are "orthogonal" i .e. perpendicular

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

more gibberish...... i.e. things i dont understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know this because \[\cos^{-1}(0)=\frac{\pi}{2}\] they make a right angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we did the dot product the other day, remember? it is the number you get like i wrote above

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

soooo 48+-48 so its 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

oh i ment orthogonal is gibberish

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

oh c: so its orthogonal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1398819849548:dw|

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

.-. they should have just said perpendicular rather than create a different word for it all together :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1398819933957:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, they change the names to annoy you

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

✧・゚:*✧・゚:* \(◕‿◕✿)/ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ you get stars for answering my question because medals dont matter to you XD by any chance do you know triagonometric stuffs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean "tickonometry"? yes i know some

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

.-. No?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i like the starts though, very nice bear is nice too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*stars

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, sure, fire away

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

its a koala >:c

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

and okay c: Express the complex number in trigonometric form. -3i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok a koala \(-3i\) we need only two number, the absolute value, which is pretty clearly 3, and the angle, which, is \(-90\) in degrees or \(-\frac{\pi}{2}\) in radians which one are you using?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1398820259387:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you are using radians (which you should be) it is \[3\left(\cos(-\frac{\pi}{2})+i\sin(-\frac{\pi}{2})\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the angle is positive you could write \[3\left(\cos(\frac{3\pi}{2})+i\sin(\frac{3\pi}{2})\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

clear how i found the angle?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

so both angles are 270?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes they are both 270, and they are both always the same, no matter what the angle is it is \[a+bi=r(\cos(\theta)+i\sin(\theta))\] same \(\theta\) for both

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

★~(◕‿◕✿) yay heres a star c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't be confused by this, this is just an equality between numbers since \(\cos(270)=0\) and \(\sin(270)=-1\) you get \(3\times -i=-3i\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

yay c: Express the complex number in trigonometric form. -3 + 3 square root of threei this one harder .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes we tried this recently it is not really much harder but remember that \[\sqrt{3^2+(3\sqrt3)^2}=\sqrt{9+27}=\sqrt{36}=6\] recall?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

wait so would it be 5pi/6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is going to be \[-3+3\sqrt3i=6(\cos(\theta)+i\sin(\theta))\] now we need \(\theta\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me check \[\cos(\theta)=\frac{a}{r}=\frac{-3}{6}=-\frac{1}{2}\] and \[\sin(\theta)=\frac{b}{r}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{6}=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\]

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

which is 5pi/6? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got them backwards i think it is the point \((-\frac{1}{2},\frac{\sqrt3}{2})\) which is at \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\)

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

I think it has something to do with the latin word orthogon, which means rectangle. Perpendicular would be from the combination latin words per+ pendere to hang or balance equally.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now it seems you are working in radians, not degrees weird they switch in any case it is \[-3+3\sqrt3i=6(\cos(\frac{2\pi}{3})+i\sin(\frac{2\pi}{3}))\]

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ noooo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nooooo?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

i wanted to be right :c okay 1 more question with a+bi form c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i thought you meant it was wrong ok go ahead, shoot

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

( •_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) okay then Write the complex number in the form a + bi. five divided by two(cos 150° + i sin 150°)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one is the easiest yet evaluate the numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cos(150)=-\frac{\sqrt3}{2},\sin(150)=\frac{1}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{5}{2}(-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}+\frac{1}{2}i)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i.e. \[\frac{-5\sqrt3}{4}+\frac{5}{4}i\]

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

okay so -5sqrt3 over 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah like that

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

੭•̀ω•́)੭̸*✩⁺˚ yeah!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you do that???

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

computer codes XD most of its Japanese symbols look up "kawaii text faces" on google

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

thank you for your help c:

yw gotta run, hope you are done
