Math Problem Statement
Draw vector 2a and label it.
Solution
The image shows a vector, labeled as , drawn on a coordinate grid. The prompt on the side in German translates to: "Draw vector 2 and label it."
Here’s a breakdown of the task:
- You are asked to draw a new vector that is twice the length of , which means scaling by a factor of 2.
- The vector appears to start at (0,0) and end at (3,2), giving it the coordinates .
- To find , multiply both components by 2:
- Draw this new vector starting from the origin (0,0) and ending at the point (6,4) on the grid.

Here are 5 questions related to this:
- What is the direction of a vector relative to the x-axis?
- How do you scale a vector by a scalar multiplier in general?
- What is the difference between vector addition and scalar multiplication?
- How would you find the magnitude of vector ?
- How can you graphically add two vectors?
Tip: When multiplying a vector by a scalar, only the length changes, not the direction, unless the scalar is negative!
