Vectors

1. A vector has an initial point at (2.1, 2.1) and a terminal point at (4.5, 7.8).
Complete the statements below with the correct numbers. Express your answers
to the nearest tenth of a unit.
The component form of the vector is ⟨​ ​​​ 2.4 , 5.7 ​⟩​​​.
The magnitude of the vector is about​ 6.2 ​.
The direction of the vector is about ​67.2 ​​​°.

2. Consider the vectors ⇀

v​​​​   = ​​⟨​​​1, 6​​⟩​​​ and ⇀
​​   = ⟨​​ ​​​0, −4​​⟩​​​. What is the magnitude of ⇀
w​​ v​​​​   + ⇀
​​ w​​  
expressed to the nearest tenth of a unit?

3. The vector r​​​​   = ​​⟨​​​2, 3​​⟩​​​is multiplied by the scalar −4. Which statements about
⇀
the components, magnitude, and direction of the scalar product −4​​ r​​ are true?
Select all that apply.
𝖠 The component form of −4​⇀r​   is ​​⟨​​​−8, −12​​⟩​​​.
𝖡 The magnitude of −4​⇀r​   is 4 times the magnitude of ⇀r​​​​  . 
𝖢 The direction of −4​⇀r​   is the same as the direction of ⇀r​​​​  . 
𝖣 The vector −4​⇀r​   is in the fourth quadrant.
𝖤 The direction of −4​⇀r​   is 180° greater than the inverse tangent of its
components.

4 . Consider the vectors ⇀ ​​ v​​  = ​​⟨​​​​3, −2​⟩​​​ and ⇀
​​   = ⟨​​ ​​−6, 10​⟩​​ ​ What is ⇀

​​ w​​? 
⇀
​​ v​​  − ⇀ ⟨
​​ w​​  = ​​ ​​   9  , −12 ​ ​​​ ⟩
5. A plane is set to fly due north, but it is pushed off course by C(−30, 520)
50
B
a crosswind blowing west. At 1 p.m. the plane is located at
point A and at 2 p.m. the plane is located at point C, as shown
in the diagram. In what direction and at what speed is the
plane traveling? 500
