Use the Law of Sines to find the value of the side x.

continued on next slide

We are told to use the law of sines to find x. In order to use the law of sines, we need to have the lengths of two sides and the measures of the angle opposite those sides. In this case we have one side and the side we are looking for. We have the measure of the angle opposite the side we are looking for, but are missing the measure of the angle opposite the side we have.

Use the Law of Sines to find the value of the side x.

continued on next slide

Since we have the measures of two of the three angles, we can use the fact that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. This will give us:

Now that we have the measure of the angle opposite the side AB, we can apply the law of sines to find the value of x.

In order to use the law of cosines, we need the lengths of two sides and the measure of the angle between them. We have that here. We can let side a be x and angle α be the 39 degree angle. Sides b and c are the lengths 21 and 42.

Two ships leave a harbor at the same time, traveling on courses that have an angle of 140 degrees between them.  If the first ship travels at 26 miles per hour and the second ship travels at 34 miles per hour, how far apart are the two ships after 3 hours?

Looking at the labeled picture above, we can see that the have the lengths of two sides and the measure of the angle between them. We are looking for the length of the third side of the triangle. In order to find this, we will need the law of cosines. x will be side a. Sides b and c will be 78 and 102. Angle α will be 140°.

Heron’s Formula

The area of a triangle equals one-half the product of the lengths of any two sides and the sine of the angle between them.

Vectors, Operations, and the Dot Product8.3Basic Terminology ▪ Algebraic Interpretation of Vectors ▪ Operations with Vectors ▪ Dot Product and the Angle Between Vectors

8.3 Vectors A vector is an object that has a magnitude and a direction. Given two points P1: and P2: on the plane, a vector

v that connects the points from P1 to P2 is v = i + j. Unit vectors are vectors of length 1. i is the unit vector in the x direction. j is the unit vector in the y direction. A unit vector in the direction of v is v/||v|| A vector v can be represented in component form by v = ai + bj. The magnitude of v is ||v|| = Using the angle that the vector makes with x-axis in standard

position and the vector’s magnitude, component form can be written as v = ||v||cos(θ)i + ||v||sin(θ)j

8.4 Dot Product Objectives

Find dot product of 2 vectors Find angle between 2 vectors Use dot product to determine if 2 vectors are

orthogonal Find projection of a vector onto another vector Express a vector as the sum of 2 orthogonal

vectors Compute work.

8.4 Vector Operations

Scalar multiplication: A vector can be multiplied by any scalar (or number).Example: Let v = 5i + 4j, k = 7. Then kv = 7(5i + 4j) = 35i + 28j.

Addition/subtraction of vectors: Add/subtract same components.Example Let v = 5i + 4j, w = –2i + 3j. v + w = (5i + 4j) + (–2i + 3j) = (5 – 2)i + (4 + 3)j = 3i + 7j.3v – 2w = 3(5i + 4j) – 2(–2i + 3j) = (15i + 12j) + (4i – 6j) = 19i + 6j.

Alternate Dot Product formula v · w = ||v||||w||cos(θ). The angle θ is the angle between the two vectors.

Find the angle between a=<4,-3> and b=<1,2>.

Parallel Vectors Parallel: the angle between the vectors is

either 0 (the vectors on top of each other) or 180 (vectors are in opposite directions).

a and b are parallel if θ = 0 or θ = ∏.

Perpendicular Vectors Two vectors v and w are orthogonal

(perpendicular) iff v · w = 0 Two vectors v and w are orthogonal

(perpendicular) if the angle between them is θ=∏/2.

Let a = 1/2i – 3j and b = -2i+12j. Show that a and b are parallel.

Show that the pair of vectors is orthogonal. 2i+3j; 6i-4j

8.6 Complex Numbers in Polar Form: DeMoivre’s Theorem

Objectives Plot complex numbers in the complex plane Fine absolute value of a complex # Write complex # in polar form Convert a complex # from polar to rectangular

form Find products & quotients of complex numbers

in polar form Find powers of complex # in polar form Find roots of complex # in polar form

Complex number = z = a + bi a is a real number bi is an imaginary number Together, the sum, a+bi is a COMPLEX # Complex plane has a real axis (horizontal) and an

imaginary axis (vertical) 2 – 5i is found in the 4th quadrant of the complex

plane (horiz = 2, vert = -5) Absolute value of 2 – 5i refers to the distance this

pt. is from the origin (continued)

Find the absolute value Since the horizontal component = 2 and vertical = -5,

we can consider the distance to that point as the same as the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with those respective legs

DeMoivre’s Theorem [r (cos θ + i sin θ)]n = rn (cos n•θ + i sin n•θ)

Ex: Change (1 + i)20 to the form a + bi

Taking a root (DeMoivre’s Theorem) Taking the nth root can be considered as

raising to the (1/n)th power Now finding the nth root of a complex # can

be expressed easily in polar form HOWEVER, there are n nth roots for any

complex number & they are spaced evenly around the circle.

Once you find the 1st root, to find the others, add 2pi/n to theta until you complete the circle

DeMoivre’s Theorem and nth roots:

Wk = n√r [cos (θ+2∏k ) + i sin (θ + 2∏k)

n n

where k = 0,1,2,…n-1.

Example:Find the fourth roots of -8-8√3i.

If you’re working with degrees add 360/n to the angle measure to complete the circle. Example: Find the 6th roots of z= -2 + 2i Express in polar form, find the 1st root, then add 60

degrees successively to find the other 5 roots.
