Learn how to find the angle of a vector not in component form

The video tutorial covers solving a vector problem by distributing a scalar, calculating vector components using cosine, converting to component form, and finding the magnitude and direction of the vector. The instructor demonstrates the use of a calculator to perform these calculations and explains the process of finding the angle using the tangent inverse function. The tutorial concludes with a review of the solution and the final results.

What is the first step when you have a scalar outside of a vector?

• Add the scalar to the vector

• Divide the scalar by the vector

• Subtract the scalar from the vector

• Multiply the scalar by the vector

Why does the teacher prefer component form over linear combination?

• It simplifies calculations

• It is the standard form

• It is easier to visualize

• It is more accurate

What is the magnitude of the vector after rounding?

• 6.00

• 5.00

• 4.95

• 7.00

How is the angle of the vector determined?

• Using cotangent function

• Using tangent inverse function

• Using cosine function

• Using sine function

What is the angle of the vector in degrees?

• 60 degrees

• 45 degrees

• 30 degrees

• 90 degrees
