Example Questions

Example Question #2 : Vectors & Spaces

Assume that Billy fired himself out of a circus cannon at a velocity of  at an elevation angle of  degrees.  Write this in vector component form.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The firing of the cannon has both x and y components.  

Write the formula that distinguishes the x and y direction and substitute. 

Ensure that the calculator is in degree mode before you solve.

Example Question #3 : Vectors & Spaces

Compute:   given the following vectors.   and .

Possible Answers:

The answer does not exist.

Correct answer:

The answer does not exist.

Explanation:

The dimensions of the vectors are mismatched.  

Since vector  does not have the same dimensions as , the answer for  cannot be solved.

Example Question #1 : Vector Form

What is the vector form of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the vector form of , we must map the coefficients of , and  to their corresponding , and  coordinates. Thus,  becomes .

Example Question #1 : Vector Form

Express  in vector form.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to express  in vector form, we must use the coefficients of and  to represent the -, -, and -coordinates of the vector.

Therefore, its vector form is 

.
