Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are vectors in math?
In math, a vector is an object that has both a magnitude and a direction. Vectors are often represented by directed line segments, with an initial point and a terminal point. The length of the line segment represents the magnitude of the vector, and the arrowhead pointing in a specific direction represents the direction of the vector.
What are the types of vectors?
The common types of vectors are cartesian vectors, column vectors, row vectors, unit vectors, and position vectors.
How do you add two vectors?
To add two vectors, add the corresponding components from each vector. Example: the sum of (1,3) and (2,4) is (1+2,3+4), which is (3,7)
