Find the scalar and vector components of the vector with initial points (3,2) and terminal points (-4,6)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
We have the vector with initial points (3,2) and terminal points (-4,6).
The vector with initial point (3,2) and terminal point (-4,6) can be given by,
\(\vec{PQ}\)= (-4-3)\(\hat{i}\)+ (6-2) \(\hat{j}\)
\(\vec{PQ}\) = -7\(\hat{i}\)+ 4 \(\hat{i}\)
Hence the required scalar components are -7 and 4 while the vector components are -7\(\hat{i}\) and 4 \(\hat{j}\)
