Example Questions

Example Question #71 : Linear Algebra

What is the vector form of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to derive the vector form, we must map the , , -coordinates to their corresponding , , and coefficients.

That is, given , the vector form is .

So for , we can derive the vector form

Example Question #51 : Vectors

Find the vector in standard form if the initial point is located at  and the terminal point is located at .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We must first find the vector in component form.

If the initial point is  and the terminal point is  then the component form of the vector is .

As such, the component form of the vector in the problem is  

Next, any vector with component form  can be written in standard form as   .

Hence, the vector in standard form is

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to derive the vector form, we must map the -coordinates to their corresponding , and coefficients.

That is, given , the vector form is .

So for , we can derive the vector form .

Example Question #51 : Vectors

Given points and , what is the vector form of the distance between the points?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to derive the vector form of the distance between two points, we must find the difference between the , and  elements of the points.

That is, for any point 

 and ,

the distance is the vector 

Subbing in our original points  and ,  we get:
