Homework Statement
Evaluate the scalar field ##f(r, \theta, \phi)= \mid 2\hat{r}+3\hat{\phi} \mid## in spherical coords.
Homework Equations
Law of Cosines?
##\mid \vec{A} + \vec{B} \mid = \sqrt{A^2+B^2+2ABCos(\theta)}##
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure the law of cosines is exactly what I'm suppose to use but so far it is the only thing that I've found that seems to fit the way the problem is presented.
If this is the correct way then:
##\mid 2\hat{r}+3\hat{\phi} \mid=\sqrt{2^2+3^2+12cos(\theta)}##
Am I doing this correctly?
