other ways to write (6, π/6)

(-6, 7π/6) -you would go to the 7π/6 line and since it is -6 you would trace from that line to the other side of the circle (180°) and that would be π/6 -to go from this to (6, π/6), you can get rid of the negative 6 and do 7π/6- 6π/6 (180°) to get π/6

The cranes are lifting a crate that weighs 18,728 lbs. Determine the tensions T1 and T2 in the cable. T1= 41.5 degrees T2=157.7 degrees

-the vectors are in equilibrium so they form triangles within them -also magnitude is degrees away from 0 degrees on the graph (like in a unit circle) w=<0, -18728> (the box is pulling down) T1=<|T1|cos41.5, |T2|sin41.5> T2=<|T2|cos157.7, |T2|sin157.7> Horizontal (equilibrium) |T1|cos41.5 + |T2|cos157.7 = 0 Vertical (equilibrium) |T2|sin41.5 + |T2|sin157.7 + -18728 =0 using the horizontal component |T1|=(-|T2|cos157.7)/cos41.5 plug this in the vertical equilibrium sin41.5((-|T2|cos157.7)/cos41.5) + |T2|sin157.7 = 18728 |T2|=(((-cos157.7 × sin41.5)/cos41.5) +sin157.7)=18728 |T2|=15,633 lbs

dot product

-this is sometimes called the scalar product and is going to represent "directional growth", that is, a vector's growth in a particular direction, not necessarily its own if u= <x,y> and its magnitude is √(x²+y²) then the dot product of a vector within itself is u × u = (√(x²+y²))²= |u|²

Thinking about vectors

If we think of vectors as "growth in a direction" (think about the velocity of an object over time), then when we add vectors (u + v), we are combining the "growth" of each vector, which may create a larger or smaller resulting vector. When we multiply by a scalar, (i.e. 3u or 1/2u), we are increasing (or decreasing) the magnitude of a vector in its own direction
