Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you uploaded is related to vectors in a coordinate plane. It shows four vectors with different components, and the tasks ask you to select vectors based on their components.
Let's break down the selections for each part:
-
Part (a): "Select all vectors with an x component of zero."
The vector(s) with a zero x-component would be the vertical ones (vectors that only point in the y-direction). In the image, this corresponds to vector 2, which lies along the y-axis. -
Part (b): "Select all vectors with a y component of zero."
The vector(s) with a zero y-component would be the horizontal ones (vectors that only point in the x-direction). In the image, this corresponds to vector 3, which lies along the x-axis. -
Part (c): "Select all vectors with a negative x component."
Vectors with a negative x-component point to the left. In the image, none of the vectors have a negative x-component. -
Part (d): "Select all vectors with a negative y component."
Vectors with a negative y-component point downward. In the image, vector 1 points downward along the negative y-axis. -
Part (e): "Select all vectors with a positive x component."
Vectors with a positive x-component point to the right. In the image, vectors 1 and 2 have a positive x-component.
Let me know if you would like further clarifications or additional explanations for any of these parts!
