On a plane flat surface with "up" given as +y and "right" given as +x, we add two vectors. One of them has components (3, 4) and the other is (-1,-4). What is the length of the
resulting vector, and what direction is it pointing in?
The vector has length of 4 and it is in the positive x directon.
The vector has length of 12 and is pointing up and to the right at 45°.
The vector has length of 1 and is pointing up and to the left at 45°.
The vector has length of 2 in the positive x direction.
2 points in the xy plane have A = (2, -4) and B = (-3,3). Determine the distance between points A and B and find their polar coordinates.
