Question

COMPLETE THE TABLE PICTURED: A robot is put into a maze, it can only go N, E, S, and West. The value i represents the north, and the magnitude is equal to 1. I have figured out that N= i, East= 1, South= -i, and West= -1. When programming the robot, let the complex number d represent the direction the robot is facing. As the robot changes direction, the value of d will also change; so, the value of d is dependent on where the robot is in the maze. When the robot makes a turn, it would be useful to have an operation to perform on d to represent this turn. This is because after making a turn, the new value of d will depend on the old value of d. Complete the table for the new values of d if the robot is turning left or right. Then determine an expression in terms of d that will give the new position if the robot turns left and another expression if the robot turns right. Type these expressions in the last row of the table.

Answer 1

Explanation:

`\boxed{\begin{array}c \underline{Intial -d} & \underline {Left-turn} & \underline{Right-turn} \\ -1 & -i & i \\ 1 & i & -i \\ i & -1 & 1\\ -i & 1 & -1 \\ d & di & -di \end{array}}`

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

see attached

Explanation:

A right turn represents a clockwise rotation of the direction vector by 90°. It is equivalent to multiplying the complex number representation by -i.

A left turn represents a counterclockwise rotation of the direction vector by 90°. It is equivalent to multiplying the complex number representation by i.
