Express (14N, 240°) as a column vector.

A.

\(\begin{pmatrix} -7 \\ -7\sqrt{3} \end{pmatrix}\)

B.

\(\begin{pmatrix} 7\sqrt{3} \\ 7\sqrt{3} \end{pmatrix}\)

C.

\(\begin{pmatrix} -7\sqrt{3} \\ -7 \end{pmatrix}\)

D.

\(\begin{pmatrix} 7 \\ -7\sqrt{3} \end{pmatrix}\)

Correct answer is A

\(F = \begin{pmatrix} F_{x} \\ F_{y} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} F\cos \theta \\ F\sin \theta \end{pmatrix}\)

\((14N, 240°) = \begin{pmatrix} 14\cos 240 \\ 14\sin 240 \end{pmatrix}\)

= \(\begin{pmatrix} 14 \times -0.5 \\ 14 \times \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2} \end{pmatrix}\)

= \(\begin{pmatrix} -7 \\ -7\sqrt{3} \end{pmatrix}\)

Find \(\lim\limits_{x \to 3} (\frac{x^{3} + x^{2} - 12x}{x^{2} - 9})\)

A.

\(\frac{7}{2}\)

B.

\(0\)

C.

\(\frac{-7}{2}\)

D.

\(-7\)

Correct answer is A

\(\lim\limits_{x \to 3} (\frac{x^{3} + x^{2} - 12x}{x^{2} - 9}) = \lim\limits_{x \to 3} (\frac{x^{3} - 3x^{2} + 4x^{2} - 12x}{(x - 3)(x + 3)}\)

\(\lim\limits_{x \to 3} (\frac{(x^{2} + 4x)(x - 3)}{(x - 3)(x + 3)} = \lim\limits_{x \to 3} (\frac{x^{2} + 4x}{x + 3})\)

=\(\frac{3^{2} + 4(3)}{3 + 3} = \frac{21}{6} = \frac{7}{2}\)
