According to the answer provided at the back of my textbook, the answer should be 4.70e6 N/C at 45 degrees.

I received the same answer of 4.7e6 N/C. Even when doing the calculations above I received 4.7e6 N/C

Solution manual has 4.7e6 as well.

Thanks for the heads up on this everyone. I forgot to square the denominator in the final calculation. I've updated the text answer, with a note about this error in the video for the final calculation.
