Find the vector of length 2 making an angle of 45^\circ with the x-axis. round to 6 decimals places or give an exact answer in terms of sine and cosine.
Accepted Solution
A:
For this case we have the following vector: v = 2 * (cosine (45) i + sine (45) j) Rewriting we have: v = 2 * (cosine (45) i + sine (45) j) v = 2 * ((0.707107) i + (0.707107) j) v = (1.414214) i + (1.414214) j Answer: the vector of length 2 making an angle of 45 with the x-axis is: v = (1.414214) i + (1.414214) j
