291.

Express \(r = (12, 210°)\) in the form \(a i + b j\).

A.

\(6(-i + \sqrt{3} j)\)

B.

\(6(-\sqrt{3} i - j)\)

C.

\(6(i - \sqrt{3} j)\)

D.

\(6(i + \sqrt{3} j)\)

Correct answer is B

\(F = F \cos \theta i + F \sin \theta j\)

\(r = (12, 210°) = 12 \cos 210 i + 12 \sin 210 j\)

= \(- 6\sqrt{3} i - 6j\)

= \(6(-\sqrt{3} i - j)\)
