Vector u has an initial point at (−5, 2) and a terminal point at (−7, 9). Which of the following represents u in trigonometric form?

u = 7.28(cos 74.055°i + sin 74.055j)
u = 7.28(cos 105.945°i + sin 105.945°j)
u = 7.28(sin 74.055°i + cos 74.055°j)
u = 7.28(sin 105.945°i + cos 105.945°j)

Answer:

  (b) 7.28 cis(105.945°)

Step-by-step explanation:

The trig form of a vector is always ...

  magnitude(cos(angle)·i +sin(angle)·j)

Sometimes, that is abbreviated ...

  magnitude cis(angle)  or  magnitude∠angle

where the "angle" is measured counterclockwise from the +x axis.

The forms showin in choices C and D can be rejected immediately because the sine and cosine coefficients are incorrectly placed. To differentiate between choices A and B, you need to know whether the angle is greater than 90°. The terminal point is above and left of the initial point, so the angle must be more than 90°. (It can help to plot the points on a graph.)

  u = 7.28(cos 105.945°i + sin 105.945°j)
