Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you've uploaded appears to be a vector diagram with some related questions. To help you answer the parts of the problem, let’s break it down:
Part (b): Write the vector v in component form.
In order to express the vector v in component form, we need to find the horizontal and vertical components based on the diagram. We can assume that each grid square in the diagram corresponds to a unit distance.
- If the vector v is represented from point A to point B, measure the horizontal and vertical distances between A and B.
Part (c): Write the component form of the opposite vector to v.
The opposite of vector v has the same magnitude but points in the opposite direction. To express this, you would simply negate the components of v (flip the signs of the x and y components).
Would you like to proceed with this approach? Or would you like more specific help on calculating these components? Let me know how you'd like to continue!
