Answer:

(x,y) = (r,\theta)\\

i)(4,-4) = (\pm 4\sqrt{2},\dfrac{7 \pi}{4})\\

ii) (-1, \sqrt{3}) = (\pm 2,\dfrac{2 \pi}{4})\\

Thinking Process:

This can either be solved using complex variables or simply trigonometry (they are all the same in a way)

(a,b) = a + ib = r(\cos{(\theta)} + i\sin{(\theta)}) = r e^{(i \theta)} = r\angle{\theta}

But we'll simply go with trigonometry and good old Pythagorean theorem.

Solution:

For Cartesian coordinates are: (x,y)

To covert them into r \angle{\theta}

We can use:

  • The Pythagoras theorem to find r

r = \pm \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

  • Arctangent to find \theta

\theta = \tan^{-1}{\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)}

These are related since:

x = r\cos{(\theta)}

y = r\sin{(\theta)}

So, let's start solving:

Part a) (4,-4)

For r:

r = \pm \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

r = \pm \sqrt{4^2 + (-4)^2}

r = \pm \sqrt{32}

r = \pm 4 \sqrt{2}

i) for r > 0 we'll go with r = + 4\sqrt{2}

ii) for r < 0 we'll go with r = - 4\sqrt{2}

For theta:

\theta = \tan^{-1}{\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)}

\theta = \tan^{-1}{\left(\dfrac{-4}{4}\right)}

\theta = \tan^{-1}{(-1)}

\theta = -45\texdegree \,\, or -\dfrac{\pi}{4} radians

One thing to keep in mind is that the point (4,-4) lies in the 4th quadrant of the xy-plane, and the range given for \theta is 0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi . So we have to add 2 \pi to our answer (we have gone around the circle and stopped at the same place as -\frac{\pi}{4} radians)

\theta=-\dfrac{\pi}{4} + 2 \pi radians

\theta=\dfrac{7\pi}{4} radians

The Answer for part(a) is (\pm 4\sqrt{2}, \dfrac{7 \pi}{4})

Part b) (-1, sqrt(3))

For r:

r = \pm \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

r = \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2}

r = \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2}

i) r = +2 for r > 0

ii) r = -2 for r < 0

For theta:

\theta = \tan^{-1}{\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)}

\theta = \tan^{-1}{\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{-1}\right)}

\theta = -\dfrac{\pi}{3} this not in range of theta: 0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi.

and the point (-1, \sqrt{3}) lies in the 2nd quadrant, so we can add \pi radians to our answer

\theta = -\dfrac{\pi}{3} + \pi in range: 0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi

\theta = \dfrac{2 \pi}{3}

The Answer for part(b) is (\pm 2, \dfrac{2 \pi}{3})

Im not sure about this one either -10=-14v+14v help
MrRa [10]
The above equation is invalid. It is not equal.

-10 = -14v + 14v

-14v + 14v = 0

-10 = 0  This is not equal. There is no solution. Thus, the equation is invalid.

A 16\dfrac1216 2 1 ? kilometer stretch of road needs repairs. Workers can repair 2\dfrac142 4 1 ? kilometer of road per week. Ho
olganol [36]

Answer:

7\frac{1}{3} weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:    

We have been given that a 16\frac{1}{2} km stretch of road needs repairs. Workers can repair 2\frac{1}{4} kilometer of road per week.

To find the number of weeks it will take to repair the stretch we will divide 16\frac{1}{2} by 2\frac{1}{4}

\text{Number of weeks it will take to repair the stretch of road}=16\frac{1}{2}\div 2\frac{1}{4}

Upon converting our mixed fractions into improper fractions we will get,

\text{Number of weeks it will take to repair the stretch of road}=\frac{33}{2}\div \frac{9}{4}

Dividing a fraction with another fraction is same as multiplying the 1st fraction with the reciprocal of second fraction.

\text{Number of weeks it will take to repair the stretch of road}=\frac{33}{2}\times \frac{4}{9}

\text{Number of weeks it will take to repair the stretch of road}=\frac{33*2}{9}

\text{Number of weeks it will take to repair the stretch of road}=\frac{11*2}{3}

\text{Number of weeks it will take to repair the stretch of road}=\frac{22}{3}

\text{Number of weeks it will take to repair the stretch of road}=7\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, it will take 7\frac{1}{3} weeks to repair the stretch of the road.

Find f ( - 3 ) for the function below.<br><br> { ( - 3, 2 ), ( - 1, 0 ), ( 1, 1 ), ( 3, - 3 ) }
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question

Comment

The f(x) notation means that were ever you see n x on the right you put the value of x.  

The question is which point has x = - 3 and what is the associated y value?

You could do it this way, just so you understand it.

<h2>X                        Y</h2>

=========================

-3                                      2       <======

-1                                       0

1                                         1

3                                        -3

The answer must be the first one

Mike received a 10% raise each month for 3
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

his salary after three months would be 1300

Step-by-step explanation:

10 percent of 1000 is a hundred and multiply that by 3, it would equal 300 and add that to the 1000.
