Example Question #91 : Vector Form

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 #91 : Vector Form

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 #113 : Linear Algebra

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:

Example Question #11 : Vectors & Spaces

What is the vector form of ?

Possible Answers:

None of the above

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Given , we need to map the , and  coefficients back to their corresponding , and -coordinates.

Thus the vector form of  is .

Example Question #11 : Vectors

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
