Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise 3-4: Finding the Components of a Vector**
In Exercises 3–4, find the components of the vector \( \overrightarrow{P_1 P_2} \).
**Exercise 3:**
- **a.** \( P_1(3, 5) \), \( P_2(2, 8) \)
- **b.** \( P_1(5, -2, 1) \), \( P_2(2, 4, 2) \)
For each pair of points \( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \), you will need to calculate the vector \( \overrightarrow{P_1 P_2} = P_2 - P_1 \) by subtracting the coordinates of \( P_1 \) from \( P_2 \).
- For part a, the points are in two-dimensional space:
- \( \vec{P_1P_2} = (2 - 3, 8 - 5) \)
- For part b, the points are in three-dimensional space:
- \( \vec{P_1P_2} = (2 - 5, 4 - (-2), 2 - 1) \)
Work through the subtractions to find the components of the vectors for each part.
