Example Questions

Example Question #434 : Parametric, Polar, And Vector

What is the vector form of 10i-j+10k ?

Possible Answers:

$\left \langle 10,1,10\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -1,10,10\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 10,10,1\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 10,-1,10\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 10,10,-1\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle 10,-1,10\right \rangle$

Explanation:

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

That is, given $a_{1}i+a_{2}j+a_{3}k$ , the vector form is $a=\left \langle a_{1},a_{2},a_{3}\right \rangle$ .

So for 10i-j+10k , we can derive the vector form $\left \langle 10,-1,10\right \rangle$ .

Example Question #84 : Vector

What is the vector form of i+j ?

Possible Answers:

$\left \langle 1,-1,0\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 1,1,0\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 0,1,1\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -1,1,0\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 1,0,1\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle 1,1,0\right \rangle$

Explanation:

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

That is, given $a_{1}i+a_{2}j+a_{3}k$ , the vector form is $a=\left \langle a_{1},a_{2},a_{3}\right \rangle$ .

So for i+j , we can derive the vector form $\left \langle 1,1,0\right \rangle$ .

Example Question #91 : Vectors

Given points (0,8,-1) and (2,2,2) , what is the vector form of the distance between the points?

Possible Answers:

$\left \langle 2,6,3\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 2,-6,-3\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -2,6,3\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 2,-6,3\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 2,6,-3\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle 2,-6,3\right \rangle$

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 $a=\left \langle a_{1},a_{2},a_{3}\right \rangle$ and $b=\left \langle b_1,b_2,b_3\right \rangle$ , the distance is the vector $v=\left \langle b_1-a_1,b_2-a_2,b_3-a_3\right \rangle$ .

Subbing in our original points (0,8,-1) and (2,2,2) , we get:

$v=\left \langle 2-0,2-8,2-(-1)\right \rangle$

$v=\left \langle 2,-6,3\right \rangle$

What is the vector form of -6i+j+k ?

Possible Answers:

$\left \langle -6,1,1\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -6,1,-1\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 6,1,-1\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 6,-1,1\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 6,1,1\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle -6,1,1\right \rangle$

Explanation:

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

That is, given $a_{1}i+a_{2}j+a_{3}k$ , the vector form is $a=\left \langle a_{1},a_{2},a_{3}\right \rangle$ .

So for -6i+j+k , we can derive the vector form $\left \langle -6,1,1\right \rangle$ .

What is the vector form of 3i-k ?

Possible Answers:

$\left \langle 3,0,-1\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 3,-1,0\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -3,0,-1\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 3,0,1\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -3,0,1\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle 3,0,-1\right \rangle$

Explanation:

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

That is, given $a_{1}i+a_{2}j+a_{3}k$ , the vector form is $a=\left \langle a_{1},a_{2},a_{3}\right \rangle$ .

So for 3i-k , we can derive the vector form $\left \langle 3,0,-1\right \rangle$ .

Example Question #113 : Linear Algebra

Given points (4,2,-2) and (7,1,0) , what is the vector form of the distance between the points?

Possible Answers:

$\left \langle 3,1,2\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -3,1,-2\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 3,-1,2\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -3,1,2\right \rangle$

$\left \langle 3,1,-2\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle 3,-1,2\right \rangle$

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.

Subbing in our original points (4,2,-2) and (7,1,0) , we get:

$v=\left \langle 7-4,1-2,0-(-2)\right \rangle$

$v=\left \langle 3,-1,2\right \rangle$

Example Question #91 : Vectors

Calculate the dot product of the following vectors:

$a=\left \langle c,6, s\right \rangle$

$b=\left \langle c,10,s\right \rangle$

Possible Answers:

c^2+60+s^2

c^2+16+s^2

2c+16+2s

2cs+60

60c^2s^2

Correct answer:

c^2+60+s^2

Explanation:

Write the formula for dot product given $a=\left \langle a_{1},a_{2},a_{3}\right \rangle$ and $b=\left \langle b_{1},b_{2},b_{3}\right \rangle$ .

$a\cdot b= a_{1}b_{1}+a_{2}b_{2}+a_{3}b_{3}$

Substitute the values of the vectors to determine the dot product.

$a\cdot b= c(c)+(6)(10)+s(s) = c^2+60+s^2$
