I REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the magnitude and direction of r+s-u a.5.4 cm; 133 b.1.1 cm; 133 c.5.4 cm; 358 d.1.1 cm; 358

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

do you know how to convert polar form to rectangular form ?? \(from ~ r\angle \theta ~ to ~ x+iy\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dont

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\Large x = r \cos \theta \\ \Large y = r \sin \theta \) so calculate x and y values for all the 3 vectors r,s,u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for u would i use \[\cos \theta = \frac{ adjacent }{ hypostenuse }\] ?

hartnn (hartnn):

for 'u' theta is already given as 340 just calculate cos 340 and sin 340

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos340= 0.93 ?

hartnn (hartnn):

correct so x = 3 cos 340 = 3*0.934 = ... y = 3 sin 340 = ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for sin340 i get -0.34

hartnn (hartnn):

correct plug in values

hartnn (hartnn):

x = 3 cos 340 = 3*0.934 = ... y = 3 sin 340 = 3*(-0.342)

hartnn (hartnn):

then do same thing for 'r' and 's'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you think you can show me how to plug in the first one

hartnn (hartnn):

sure, i will do 'u' completely, then you try 'r' and 's' :) \(\Large \bar u = 3 \angle 340 \\ \Large x_u = 3 \cos 340 = 2.819 \\ \Large y_u = 3 \sin 340 = -1.026 \\ \Large so, \bar u = 2.819 -i 1.026\) got this ? try doing same thing for r and s :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much:) once i find them is there something else to do

hartnn (hartnn):

YES! you need r+s-u so do those operations on corresponding real and imaginary parts

hartnn (hartnn):

like \(\Large r+s-u = x_r +iy_r + x_s+iy_s -x_u -iy_u \\ \Large =(x_r+x_s-x_u )+i (y_r+y_s-y_u) =... \)
