Question

suppose the vector \\(\mathbf{v}\\) has magnitude 23 and makes an angle of \\(153^\circ\\) with the positive \\(x\\)-axis (measured counterclockwise), when \\(\mathbf{v}\\) is in standard position.

write \\(\mathbf{v}\\) in the form \\(\mathbf{v} = a\mathbf{i} + b\mathbf{j}\\).

do not round any intermediate computations, and round the values in your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Identify the given parameters

Using the Vector Components knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Calculate the horizontal component

Using the Trigonometric Resolution knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Calculate the vertical component

Using the Trigonometric Resolution knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Express the vector in standard form

Using the Vector Components knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK3 $$

Answer:

Suppose the vector \(\mathbf{v}\) has magnitude 23 and makes an angle of \(153^\circ\) with the positive \(x\)-axis (measured counterclockwise), when \(\mathbf{v}\) is in standard position.

Write \(\mathbf{v}\) in the form \(\mathbf{v} = a\mathbf{i} + b\mathbf{j}\).

Do not round any intermediate computations, and round the values in your answer to the nearest hundredth.
