Lecture 1: 13.1 13.2

Question 1

A two dimensional vector is notated as?

Answer 1

V = (P Q)->, where P = initial point and Q = terminal point.

Question 2

V is a vector with an arrow pointing from?

Answer 2

P to Q (initial point to terminal)

Question 3

Initial point and terminal point has coordinates?

Answer 3

(X, Y)

Question 4

What is a position vector?

Answer 4

A vector from the origin to a point, R.

Question 5

Parallel vectors?

Answer 5

Vectors of nonzero length if the lines through v and w are parallel. They do not need to point in the same direction.

Question 6

Translation in vectors?

Answer 6

When a vector is moved without changing the magnitude and direction (different base point).

Question 7

Equivalent vectors are those that?

Answer 7

Have the same direction and magnitude.

Question 8

Every vector v is or is not equivalent to a position vector?

Answer 8

Is

Question 9

Components of a Vector (a1, b1) and Q = (a2, b2), are the quantities

Answer 9

a = a2 − a1 (x-component), b = b2 − b1 (y-component)

Question 10

The pair of components is denoted by?

Answer 10

⟨a, b⟩.

Question 11

Zero vector?

Answer 11

A vector with no length and without direction.

Question 12

Vector sum v + w is defined when?

Answer 12

v and w have the same base point.

Question 13

What is x + w when the tail of w is on the head of x?

Answer 13

It is the vector from the tail of x and the head of w.

Question 14

Parallelogram law?

Answer 14

v + w if the tail of x and w are the same but pointing different directions, the v + w vector will have the same tail but will point exactly in the middle of v and w.

Question 15

How to add several vectors?

Answer 15

Translate each position vector in which the terminal is the initial of the next vector. v = v2 + v2 + … + v_n. The new vector, v will be a position vector pointing to the terminal of the last vector, v_n.

Question 16

Vector subtraction?

Answer 16

v − w is carried out by adding −w to v.

Question 17

∥λv∥ = ?

Answer 17

|λ| ∥v∥

Question 18

A vector w
is parallel to v if and only if?

Answer 18

w = λv for some nonzero scalar λ.

Question 19

Vector v points in the same/opposite direction if lambda > 0 and same/opposite direction if lambda < 0?

Answer 19

Same, different.

Question 20

Vector Operations Using Components: If v = ⟨a, b⟩ and w = ⟨c, d⟩, then for addition, subtraction, coefficients, and addition of 0? 4•

Answer 20

(i) v+w=⟨a+c,b+d⟩
(ii) v−w=⟨a−c,b−d⟩
(iii) λv = ⟨λa, λb⟩
(iv) v+0=0+v=v

Question 21

if P = (a1, b1) and Q = (a2, b2)?

Answer 21

PQ->=OQ->−OP-> =⟨a2,b2⟩−⟨a1,b1⟩=⟨a2 −a1,b2 −b1⟩

Question 22

THEOREM 1 Basic Properties of Vector Algebra For all vectors u, v, w and for all
scalars λ? Commutative law, associative law, distributive law? 3•

Answer 22

Commutative Law: v + w = w + v

Associative Law: u + (v + w) = (u + v) + w

Distributive Law for Scalars: λ(v + w) = λv + λw

Question 23

A linear combination of vectors v and w is a vector?

Answer 23

rv + sw

Question 24

Linear combination as system of linear equations?

Answer 24

{rv1 + sw1 = u1
{rv2 + sw2 = u2

Question 25

e_v is?

Answer 25

A unit vector in the direction v

Question 26

If i = ⟨1,0⟩, j = ⟨0,1⟩, then v, which is the linear combination vector, is?

Answer 26

v = ⟨a, b⟩ = ai + bj, in which a and b are scalers of i and j.

Question 27

Octant?

Answer 27

Is one of the eight divisions in a 3d coordinate space divided by four planes throughout each one of the axis.

Question 28
