In the cartesian plane, O is the origin ...

In the cartesian plane, O is the origin of the coordinate axes. A person starts at O and walks a distance of 3 units in the NORTH - EAST direction and reaches the point P. From P he walks 4 units distance parallel to NORTH - WEST direction and reaches the point Q. Express the vector `bar(OQ)` interms of `bar(i) and bar(j)` (Observe `angleXOP=45^(@)`)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`bar(OQ)=1/sqrt(2)(-bar(i)+7bar(j))`

In the Cartesian plane, O is the origin of the coordinate axes. A person starts at 0 and walks a distance of 3 units in the NORTH - EAST direction and reaches the point P. From P he walks 4 units distance parallel to NORTH-WEST direction and reaches the point Q. then the vector OQ in terms i and j. (angleXOP=45^(0)) is

Point (2,4) is transtated through a distance 3sqrt2 units measured parallel to the line y-x=1, in the direction on decreasing ordinates, to reach, to reach at Q. If R is the image of Q with respect to the line y-x=0 the coordinates of R are
