Vector A has a given magnitude of |A| = 6.5 and points due east. Vector B, of unknown magnitude, points directly north. The sum A + B makes an angle of θ = 56° north of east. Enter an expression for the magnitude of vector B in terms of the magnitude of A, |A|, and the angle θ, using any required trigonometric functions.

Given the vector u = 2i + 5j, find the magnitude and angle in which the vector points (measured in radians counterclockwise from the positive x-axis and 0 < θ < 2π). Round each decimal to two places. Magnitude: 5.3851 Angle: 201.8014

Unit vectors in the plane Show that a unit vector in the plane can be expressed as $\mathbf{u}=(\cos \theta) \mathbf{i}+(\sin \theta) \mathbf{j},$ obtained by rotating $\mathbf{i}$ through an angle $\theta$ in the counterclockwise direction. Explain why this form gives every unit vector in the plane.
