3 part question

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

|dw:1528820149084:dw|

Vocaloid:

find the dot product, the magnitudes, and plug them in and solve for theta

zarkam21:

-6*13

Vocaloid:

remember the rules for calculating the dot product 1. multiply the x-coordinates 2. multiply the y-coordinates 3. add the results from steps 1 and 2.

zarkam21:

-6+0=-6

Vocaloid:

good now find the magnitudes of the two original vectors

zarkam21:

0

Vocaloid:

remember that magnitude = sqrt(x^2 + y^2).

zarkam21:

6

Vocaloid:

you must perform the calculation on the original two vectors

zarkam21:

sqrt205 and 1

Vocaloid:

anyway I got to do a quick errand but once you have the magnitudes plug them in and solve for theta

zarkam21:

okay sounds good

Vocaloid:

so any progress yet?

zarkam21:

-6=sqrt205 * 1 (cos x)

Vocaloid:

good now solve for x

Vocaloid:

still there? cos(x) = -6/sqrt(205) x = ?

zarkam21:

6.28

Vocaloid:

take the arccos of both sides x = arccos(-6/sqrt(205)) = ?

zarkam21:

114.8

Vocaloid:

good so for part II) you will simply plug in |v| and theta into the expression <|v|cos(theta), |v|sin(theta)>

zarkam21:

<|sqrt205|cos(114.8), |1|sin(114.8)>

Vocaloid:

notice how it says |v| for both so both the |v|'s have to be the same value

zarkam21:

like would i add sqrt 205 + 1

zarkam21:

how would i get it to be one value

Vocaloid:

what did you get when you calculated |v| from part I?

zarkam21:

sqrt205 and 1

Vocaloid:

|v| can only have one value what was the magnititude of vector v?

Vocaloid:

pay attention to which vector was vector v

zarkam21:

oh 1

zarkam21:

becase it was (1,0)

Vocaloid:

|dw:1528829053377:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1528829058921:dw|

Vocaloid:

that means v = (-6,13) which means |v| is only the magnitude of (6,-13) and nothing else

zarkam21:

oh okay, i see what you mean so when you are askiing for v it is (6,-13)

Vocaloid:

good so <(sqrt205)cos(114.8), sqrt(205)sin(114.8)> is your vector

Vocaloid:

then for part III you just need to calculate the dot product and see if it's equal to 0 or not

zarkam21:

okay -6+0=-6

Vocaloid:

you must use the vectors that are given in part III

zarkam21:

(-6)+(-42)=-48 13+(-34)=-21 -48*-21=1008

Vocaloid:

the rule is to multiply first then add

zarkam21:

(-6)*(-42)=252 13*(-34)=-442 252+(-442)=-190

Vocaloid:

good since the dot product is not 0 then it's not orthogonal and that's it

zarkam21:

zarkam21:

could you just check this over to see if i missed anything or not

Vocaloid:

good but on part II there is an error w/ your parentheses (sqrt(205)cos(114.8), sqrt(205)cos(114.8)) should be it

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

well for part I start by finding the modulus (r) and theta

Vocaloid:

remember that theta = arctan(y/x) and modulus = sqrt(x^2 + y^2).

zarkam21:

Part I: Write z1 in polar form. (2 points)

Vocaloid:

yes. finding theta and the modulus are the correct steps to find the polar form.

Vocaloid:

|dw:1528830636563:dw|

Vocaloid:

x = 1 y = sqrt(3) find the modulus and the theta

zarkam21:

1.65

zarkam21:

i did sqrt (1)^2+(sqrt3)^2

zarkam21:

actually its 2

Vocaloid:

the magnitude should be 2 (remember order of operations) now try the angle

zarkam21:

I forgot what the equATIION IS TO FIND theta

Vocaloid:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid remember that theta = arctan(y/x) and modulus = sqrt(x^2 + y^2). \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

zarkam21:

arctan(sqrt3)/1=pi/3

Vocaloid:

good so your final sol'n is (2,pi/3)

zarkam21:

for part I correct =)

Vocaloid:

yes for part II: since we want the fourth root you will take the original modulus 2 and raise it to the (1/4) power to get 2^(1/4)

Vocaloid:

for part III: you will calculate (theta + 2pi*k)/n for n = 4 (since we have the fourth roots) and k = 0,1,2,3 producing a total of four angle values

zarkam21:

i dont have to solve 2^(1/4) right just the expression

Vocaloid:

right

zarkam21:

theta + 2pi*0)/4=theta theta + 2pi*1)/4=theta+pi/2 theta + 2pi*2)/4=theta+pi theta + 2pi*3)/4=theta+3pi/2

Vocaloid:

you have to plug in the original theta value

Vocaloid:

also you need to be very careful with parentheses (theta + 2pi*k)/n that beginning parentheses makes a huge difference

zarkam21:

is the theta value pi/3

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

(pi/3 + 2pi*0)/4= pi/12 (pi/3+ 2pi*1)/4=7pi/12 (pi/3+ 2pi*2)/4=13pi/12 (pi/3+ 2pi*3)/4=19pi/12

Vocaloid:

good then for part IV you will set up each root 2^(1/4) * [cos(theta) + i*sin(theta)] and go down the list of your theta values, ending up with four total roots

zarkam21:

2^(1/4) * [cos(pi/12) + i*sin(pi/12)] 2^(1/4) * [cos(7pi/12) + i*sin(7pi/12)] 2^(1/4) * [cos(13pi/12) + i*sin(13pi/12)] 2^(1/4) * [cos(19pi/12) + i*sin(19pi/12)]

Vocaloid:

good that's your sol'n for part IV
