$\tiny{s6.12.25}$
$\textsf{If $v$ lies in the first quarter and makes an angle }\\$
$\textsf{$\pi/3$ with the positive x-axis and $\left| v \right|$=4} $
$\textsf{find $v$ in component form.}$
\begin{align}
\displaystyle
v&=\langle 2\sqrt{3},2\rangle \\
\end{align}
this is probably correct, but always suggestions... notice that $\langle \rangle$ are not on the lateX menu

$\textit{this is probably correct, but always suggestions... notice that $\langle \rangle$ are not on the lateX menu and word wrap does not function in Live preview!}$
You got your trig functions backward.

In component form we have that any vector v based at the origin has the form [math]( |v| \cdot cos( \theta ), |v| \cdot sin( \theta ) )[/math]. In your case:
[math]\left ( 4 \cdot cos \left ( \frac{\pi}{3} \right ), 4 \cdot sin \left ( \frac{\pi}{3} \right ) \right )[/math]

[math]= \left ( 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} , 4 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right )[/math]

[math]= ( 2, 2 \sqrt{3} )[/math]

Addendum: Your problem would seem to be in your "textit" line. If you just type it out the wrap works just fine.
 
$\textsf{If $v$ lies in the first quarter and makes an angle $\pi/3$ with the positive x-axis and $\left| v \right|$=4 find $v$ in component form.}$
\begin{align}
\displaystyle
(a_1,b_1)&=\langle 4 \cdot cos \left ( \frac{\pi}{3} \right ), 4 \cdot sin \left ( \frac{\pi}{3} \right ) \rangle\\
v&=\langle 2\sqrt{3},2\rangle
\end{align}
 
For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
