In Exercises 1–6, resolve the vectors into components.

1.

This diagram shows a coordinate plane with three vectors \( \vec{a} \), \( \vec{b} \), and \( \vec{w} \).

- Vector \( \vec{a} \) originates from the origin and points into the first quadrant, with its tail at the origin and head in the direction of positive \( x \) and \( y \) on the plane.

- Vector \( \vec{b} \) also originates from the origin and extends into the first quadrant, lying closer to the \( x \)-axis, indicating a larger \( x \)-component relative to its \( y \)-component.

- Vector \( \vec{w} \) starts from the origin and is directed into the second quadrant, indicating a negative \( x \)-component and a positive \( y \)-component.

- Vector \( \vec{v} \) is in the third quadrant, with both components negative.

The axes are labeled with \( x \) and \( y \), ranging from -3 to 3. The goal is to resolve each vector into its \( x \) and \( y \) components.

**3. A vector starting at the point \( Q = (4, 6) \) and ending at the point \( P = (1, 2) \).**

This description refers to a vector in a two-dimensional coordinate system. The vector begins at the coordinates \( Q \) and terminates at \( P \). The direction and length of the vector are determined by these coordinates. 

To calculate the vector from \( Q \) to \( P \), subtract the coordinates of \( Q \) from \( P \):

\[
PQ = (1 - 4, 2 - 6) = (-3, -4)
\]

The vector \( PQ = (-3, -4) \) points from \( Q \) to \( P \).
