Convert 4(cos(240) + isin(240)) into rectangular form. ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos (240)=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup, sin 240 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-root3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so, just distribute 4 into it, you have 4cos 240 = x coordinate 4 sin 240 = y coordinate Dat sit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why? 4*(-0.5) = -2, that is x in rectangular form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, your problem is CONVERT to rectangular form, Please, don't MIX the problems up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All your options are polar forms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still super lost haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you have CONVERT TO RECTANGULAR form, you are given a POLAR form, that is there is cos and sin in the form, and you convert to (x,y) form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh oops I gave the wrong answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hehehe... I think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we had it before hahaha my bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup, I gave you x =-2, already, now you have 4 sin (240) =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hihihi... only one option has x =-2, you are lucky, save a bunch of time.
