The vector between (-5, 2) and (-7, 9) represented in trigonometric form is described by the expression 7.280 · (cos 105.945° i + sin 105.945° j).
Let be a vector in rectangular form, that is, a vector of the form (x, y). A vector in polar (trigonometric) form is defined by the following expression: (r, θ)
And the magnitude (r) and direction of the vector (θ), in degrees, are, respectively:
[tex]r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}[/tex] (1)
[tex]\theta = \tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}[/tex]
And the vector in rectangular form is described below:
(x,y) = (-7, 9) - (-5, 2)
(x,y) = (-2, 7)
And its polar form is determined below:
[tex]r = \sqrt{(-2)^{2}+7^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]r = \sqrt{53}[/tex]
r ≈ 7.280
θ = tan⁻¹ (-7/2)
θ ≈ 105.945°
And the vector between (-5, 2) and (-7, 9) represented in trigonometric form is described by the expression 7.280 · (cos 105.945° i + sin 105.945° j). [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]
