SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.<br />

Solve the problem.<br />

1) Let vector u have initial point P1 = (0, 2) and terminal point P2 = (3, -2). Let vector v have initial point<br />

Q1 = (3, 0) and terminal point Q2 = (6, -4). u and v have the same direction. Find u and v . Is u = v<br />

Answer:<br />

u = 5, v = 5; yes<br />

Find the magnitude v of the vector.<br />

2) v = 9i + 12j<br />

Answer: 15<br />

3) v = -i - j<br />

Answer: 2<br />

A vector v has initial point P1 and terminal point P2. Write v in terms of ai + bj.<br />

4) P1 = (-2, 3); P2 = (-5, -6)<br />

Answer: v = -3i - 9j<br />

Find the specified vector or scalar.<br />

5) v = 3i + 4j; Find 2v.<br />

Answer: 6i + 8j<br />

Find the unit vector having the same direction as v.<br />

6) v = -3i - 4j<br />

Answer: u = - 3 5 i - 4 5 j<br />

Write a vector v in terms of i and j whose magnitude v and direction angle θ are given.<br />

7) v = 10, θ = 120°<br />

Answer: v = -5i + 5<br />

3j<br />

Perform the indicated operation.<br />

8) u = 9i + j, v = -4i - 2j, w = i - 8j; Find v - (u - w).<br />

Answer: -12i - 11j<br />

Find the magnitude and direction angle (to the nearest tenth) for the vector. Give the measure of the direction angle as an<br />

angle in [0,360°].<br />

9) -4, -3<br />

Answer: 5; 216.9°<br />
