For the following exercises, calculate u ⋅ v.
Given v = 〈−3, 4⟩ draw v, 2v, and 1/2 v.
Consider the vector v with the components (-3, 4)
Vector v starts at point (0, 0) and terminates at point (-3, 4). The graph of vector v is as follows:
Compute 2v by multiply each component of vector v by 2.
2v = {2 × (-3), 2 × 4}
= (-6, 8)
Vector 2v starts at point (0, 0) and terminates at point (-6, 8). The graph of vector 2v is as follows:
Compute ½v by multiply each component of vector v by 1/2.
1/2v = 1/2(-3, 4)
= {1/2 × (-3), 1/2 × 4}
= (-3/2, 2)
Vector 1/2v starts at point (0, 0) and terminates at point (-3/2, 2). The graph is as follows:
