current. Use the value
b for the speed of the
boat.
Enter:
[20,80¡]!i
[a,0
¡]!c
[b,60°]
!r
Vectors are commonly written in either polar or
rectangular form, so it is useful to convert polar
vectors into rectangular form.
3. Define function
p2r.
Enter: Define p2r(x)=[x[1,1]*cos(x[1,2]),
x[1,1]*sin(x[1,2])]
