#rs/notes #rs/class/math163 - - - - Vectors - have both magnitude and direction - Operations on vectors - scalar multiplication - multiply both components of vector by the same scalar - doensn't change the direction of the vector - addition - add the corresponding components together - same as putting initial point of one on terminal point of other - subtraction - v - w can be represented as v + (-w) - when initial points are the same, difference is the vector formed between the two terminal points - can also add the negative of one vector to the other - Component form - when a vectors initial point is at (0,0) it can be written in component form - - Magnitude - Pythagoras
