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
