Answer to Problem 1RE
The magnitude and direction of the vector in standard position with end points at
Explanation of Solution
Result used:
“The magnitude in standard position for a vector v with end points at
“The direction of the vector in standard position with given end points is calculated by substituting the coordinates of the end points
Calculation:
Given that, the coordinates of the vector is
Substitute
As the magnitude is positive, so the magnitude of the vector is 7.211.
Therefore, the magnitude of the vector in standard position with end points at
Substitute
Thus, the direction of the vector in standard position with end points at
