Chapter 9.1, Problem 15E

To determine

The component form of vector.

Answer to Problem 15E

The component form of vector is $\text{v}=\left\{-4,-3\right\}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given :

Initial point:

  $\text{P}\left(\text{5,3}\right)$

Terminal point:

  $\text{Q}\left(\text{1,0}\right)$

Calculation:

Component form:

  $\text{v}=\{x_2-x_1,y_2-y_1\}$

So,

The desired vector:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{v}=\{1-5,0-3\}\\ \text{v}=\left\{-4,-3\right\}\end{array}$

The component form of vector is $\text{v}=\left\{-4,-3\right\}$ .
