Lesson 10.6
Find scalar products of two-space vectors Prove or disprove generalizations about vector operations Identify parallel and orthogonal vectors Represent scalar multiplication of two-space vectors graphically Represent lines in a plane using vector equations.
A vector w = is a scalar multiple of vector u = written w = ku iff there exists a real number k such that = Nonzero vectors u and v are parallel iff there exists a real number t ≠ 0 st u = tv Two vectors are parallel if they have the same or exactly opposite direction. The line through P = that is parallel to the vector v = has the vector equation = t Where t may be any real number.
The vector u begins a (3, -7) and ends at (-4, 8). The vector v = 6.6u is in standard position. Where does v begin and where does it end? It is in standard position, so we know it begins at (0, 0) Vector u = V = 6.6 V =
Tell whether the two given vectors are parallel and justify your answer. and Yes, k = -6 [13, 17˚] and [5, 163˚] No, they are not opposite directions.
Give an example of a vector parallel to that also meets the following criteria. Has opposite direction: Has magnitude equal to 1:
Identify three points on the line described by: When t = 0, (-1, 2) t=1, (3, -1) t = 2, (7, -4) Write in point-slope form: y – 2 = -3/4(x + 1) Write a vector equation for this line. = t
