Math Problem Statement

In ordered pair notation, write down the components of vector B

In ordered pair notation, write down the components of vector B.

Solution

To determine the components of vector B\mathbf{B} from the graph:

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Observation of Vector B\mathbf{B}:

    • B\mathbf{B} starts at the origin (0,0)(0, 0) and ends at a point in quadrant IV.
    • Specifically, it points towards approximately (5,4)(-5, -4).
  2. Endpoint Coordinates of B\mathbf{B}:

    • The vector B\mathbf{B} ends at approximately (5,4)(-5, -4).
  3. Vector Components of B\mathbf{B}:

    • The components are determined directly from the endpoint coordinates since the vector starts at the origin: B=(5,4).\mathbf{B} = (-5, -4).

Final Answer:

The components of vector B\mathbf{B} are: B=(5,4).\mathbf{B} = (-5, -4).
