- The angle is 0 degrees to 360 degrees measured as a counter-clockwise rotation from the positive x axis.
- The angle is 0 degrees to +180 degrees measured as a counter-clockwise rotation from the positive x axis, or is 0 degrees to -180 degrees measured as a clockwise rotation fromthe positive x axis.
Kjell, Chapter 5
What is the direction of the vector represented by (5,-5)T
- A. 0 degrees
- B. 45 degrees
- C. 315 degrees
- D.-45 degrees
Question 19
True or False: The formula for the direction of a 2D vector is:
angle of (x, y)T = arc tan( y/x )
Question 20
What is the direction of the vector represented by (5,-5)T
- A. 45 degrees
- B. 135 degrees
- C. -45 degrees
- D. -135 degrees
Question 21
What is the direction of the vector represented by (-5,-5)T
- A. 45 degrees
- B. 135 degrees
- C. -45 degrees
- D. -135 degrees

Answers
Answer 23
False. There are 2*pi radians in a full circle, so
2*pi radians = 360 degrees
Answer 22
A. (-3.464,2.0)T
Kjell, Chapter 5
Answer 21
D. -135 degrees
Kjell, Chapter 5
Answer 20
C. -45 degrees
Kjell, Chapter 5
Answer 19
True. Arc tan( z ) means "find the angle that has a tangent of z." When you do this with a calculator, remember that the answer may be in radians or in degrees. Some calculators give you the option of using use either format.
Kjell, Chapter 5
Answer 18
C. 315 degrees, or
D.-45 degrees
depending on the convention in use.
Kjell, Chapter 5
Answer 17
True
Kjell, Chapter 5
Answer 16
False. If v is a vector, then -v is a vector pointing in the opposite direction.
Kjell, Chapter 4.
Answer 15
False. It is possible for the sum of the squared elements to be equal without the elements themselves being equal. In that case, the lengths are the same but the directions are not the same.
Kjell, Chapter 4.
Answer 14
True. Since corresponding elements must be equal, so corresponding squares must be equal, so the sum must be equal, so the length must be equal.
Kjell, Chapter 4
Answer 13
False. The length property of a vector must be zero or positive. It cannot be negative.
Kjell, Chapter 4.
Answer 12
True
Kjell, Chapter 4
Answer 11
C. 6
Kjell, Chapter 4
Answer 10
False. The correct statement follows where |(x,y,z)T| represents a three-dimensional vector:
|(x,y,z)T| = sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)
Kjell, Chapter 4
Answer 9
True
Kjell, Chapter 4
Answer 8
False. The following statement is true where the left angle bracket followed by the equal sign indicates "less than orequal." This is known as the "triangle inequality."
|u + v| is less than or equal |u| + |v|
(Note that there is a problem with displaying the left angle bracket using my xhtml to cnxml converter program. That is why it is spelled out in theabove statement.)

Answer 4
C. 4
The length of the vector is 4 units.
Kjell, Chapter 4
Answer 3
False. The correct statement is:
When a 2D vector is aligned with the y axis, the column matrix that represents it has a non-zero value in the second element, and zero for the firstelement.
Kjell, Chapter 4
Answer 2
True. as in (3,0)T
Kjell, Chapter 4
Answer 1
B. 3
The length of the vector is 3 units.
