Vectors

Match each vector to the correct column vector.

Match each combination of vectors to the correct resultant.

Given $$\mathbf{a}={1\choose 3}$$ and $$\mathbf{b}={2\choose -3}$$, write the resultant vector in terms of $$\mathbf{a}$$ and $$\mathbf{b}$$.

Find the vector $$\overrightarrow{PQ}$$ in terms of $$\mathbf{a}$$ and $$\mathbf{b}$$.

$$3\mathbf{a} -\mathbf{b} + 3\mathbf{d}$$ 

$$\mathbf{a} -4\mathbf{b} + 3\mathbf{d}$$ 

$$\mathbf{a} -3\mathbf{b} + 3\mathbf{d}$$ 

$$-\mathbf{a}-4\mathbf{b} - 2\mathbf{d}$$ 

Match each vector to the correct vector pathway.

A vector starting from $$A$$ and ending at $$B$$

A line segment with points $$A$$ and $$B$$ at each end

A vector starting from $$B$$ and ending at $$A$$

A point with $$x$$-coordinate of $$a$$ and $$y$$-coordinate of $$b$$

A point with $$x$$-coordinate of $$b$$ and $$y$$-coordinate of $$a$$

Match the correct statement with the correct notation.

Which of the following represents this vector?

$$\overrightarrow{DF}=\overrightarrow{DC}+\overrightarrow{CF}$$

$$\overrightarrow{AC}=\overrightarrow{AB}-\overrightarrow{BC} $$

$$\overrightarrow{EC}=-\overrightarrow{DE}-\overrightarrow{CD} $$

$$\overrightarrow{DC}=-\overrightarrow{CD}$$

$$\overrightarrow{BD}=\overrightarrow{CB}+\overrightarrow{CD} $$

Which of the following vector pathways are correct?

$${13 \choose -2} + {12 \choose 7} = {25 \choose x} $$

$${12 \choose x} + {-7 \choose -7} = {5 \choose -14} $$

$${3\choose 4} + {x \choose -4} = {11 \choose 0} $$

Match each $$x$$ value to the correct vector statement.
