9. Zero Vector
Denoted 0 = <0,0,0>

10. Unit vectors
i = <1,0,0> j = <0,1,0> k = <0,0,1>

11. Standard unit vector notation for v
v = v1 i + v2j + v3k

12. Component form
If v is represented by the directed line segment from P<p1,p2,p3> to Q<q1,q2,q3> the component form of the vector is produced by subtracting the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point.
V = <q1-p1, q2-p2, q3-p3>

13. Equal
Two vectors are equal iff their corresponding components are equal

14. Magnitude The magnitude or length of u = <u1,u2,u3> is

15. Unit vector u in the direction of v
U = v / ||v||

16. Sum of two vectors
u = <u1,u2,u3> and v = <v1,v2,v3> u + v = <u1 + v1 ,u2 + v2 , u3 + v3 >

17. Scalar multiple
The scalar multiple of the real number c and u = <u1,u2,u3> is
cu = <cu1,cu2,cu3>

18. Dot product
The dot product of u = <u1,u2,u3> and v = <v1,v2,v3> is
u ∙ v = u1 v1 + u2v2 + u3v3

19. Angle between two vectors
If Ѳ is the angle between two nonzero vectors u and v, then cos Ѳ = (u∙ v) / ||u|| ||v||

20. Collinear
The points P, Q, and R are collinear iff the vectors PQ and PR are parallel.
