Algebra.Com's Answer #831163 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "A and B are equivalent because the magnitudes are opposite and the angles differ by pi radians. \n" ); document.write( "C is equivalent to A because the magnitudes are the same and the angles differ by 2pi. \n" ); document.write( "E is equivalent to B because the magnitudes are the same and the angles differ by 2pi. \n" ); document.write( "D is NOT equivalent to B because the magnitudes are the same and the angles differ by pi/3. \n" ); document.write( "So A, B, C, and E are equivalent; D is different. \n" ); document.write( "But NONE of them are equivalent to (2,sqrt(3)). That point is in quadrant I; D is in quadrant III and the others are in quadrant IV. \n" ); document.write( "The statement of the problem is faulty. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
