Question

 Consider the two vectors, A = 17.5x + 10.5y B = 3.1x - 3.5y

a)What is the magnitude of the vector A - B? 

b)What is the angle of the vector A - B, measured counterclockwise in degrees from the positive x-axis? 

c)What is the magnitude of the vector 3A + B? 

d)What is the angle of the vector 3A+B, measured counterclockwise in degrees from the positive x-axis? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given, 

A= 17.5 x + 10.5 y

B= 3.1 x - 3.5 y

We need to calculate, 

a)What is the magnitude of the vector A - B =? 

 

b)What is the angle of the vector A - B =? 

 

c)What is the magnitude of the vector 3A + B= ? 

 

d)What is the angle of the vector 3A+B =?
