Describe the location of the ship at 4:30 p.m. by writing a vector in component form. Then explain what these components mean in terms of the scenario.

 

The component form of the vector representing the ship at 4:30 p.m. is approximately  ⟨___ ,___  ⟩ . This means that the ship is about ___ miles to the ____  and about ____ miles to the ____  of where the ship left port. 

 

possible answers = 

-43.1, -32.5, -3.6, -2.7, 2.7, 3.6, 32.5, 43.1, north, south, east, west

 

Any help is appreciated.
