4.5) Two particles are traveling along the line y = -2x2 - 2x +10. When one particle is at position A, its position vector makes a 45-deg angle with the X axis. Simultaneously, the other particle is at position B, where its vector makes a 75-deg angle with the X axis. Draw this system to some convenient scale and: a. Write an expression for the particle's position vector in position A using complex number notation, in both polar and Cartesian forms. b. Write an expression for the particle's position vector in position B using complex number notation, in both polar and Cartesian forms. c. Write a vector equation for the relative position of the particle at B with respect to the particle at A. Substitute the complex number notation for the vectors in this equation and solve for the position difference numerically. d. Check the result of part c with a graphical method. 4.6)
