2. Enter vectors describing the initial path of
the boat, water current, and resultant path
of the boat.
Store these vectors as
i, c, and r. Use the
value
a for the unknown speed of the
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])]
