Math Problem Statement
(b) A vector in a coordinate plane is expressed by using components. In Figure II, the vector π has initial point (x, y) = 2,1
and terminal point (x, y) = 3,2
. In component form we write π = , and π = . Then 2π =
and π + π = .
Solution
Solution:
-
Find the vector π in component form: A vector in component form is expressed as: Here, the initial point is and the terminal point is .
Subtract the coordinates:
So:
-
Vector π is not given, but assuming it has coordinates (π£β, π£α΅§):
-
Find : Multiply each component of by 2:
-
Find : Add the corresponding components of and :
If the values of and are specified, substitute them into this formula to get the final result.
Final Answers:
- π =
- 2π =
- π + π =
