Question

Use trigonometry to resolve the following vectors into components. Describe the vectors using vector

Answer 1

Answer:

  v ≈ (3.28512, 20.74146)

Step-by-step explanation:

  v = 21(cos(81°), sin(81°))

  v ≈ (3.28512, 20.74146) . . . . (x, y) components

The notation varies among authors. The vector can be written as ...

  (r, θ) = (21, 81°)

  r∠θ = 21∠81°

  r cis θ = 21 cis 81°

  v = 21·e^(i·9π/20)

  (x, y) ≈ (3.28512, 20.74146)

  v =  3.28512i +20.74146j . . . . perhaps this is the vector notation you want (i and j are unit vectors in the x- and y-directions, respectively)
