Given vectors u = and v = , how do you find 2u - 3v?

Back

To find 2u - 3v, multiply each component of u by 2 and each component of v by 3, then subtract the corresponding components: 2u - 3v = <2a - 3c, 2b - 3d>.

What is the significance of the initial and terminal points of a vector?

Back

The initial point is where the vector starts, and the terminal point is where it ends. The vector's direction and magnitude are determined by these points.

If w = <2, -5> and y = <2, 0>, what is 2w + y?

Back

2w + y = <2*2 + 2, 2*(-5) + 0> = <4 + 2, -10 + 0> = <6, -10>.

What is the formula for the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The distance d between two points is given by d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

What does it mean for two vectors to be equal?

Back

Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction, which means their corresponding components are equal.
