Demystifying - Vector arithmetic review

Drills

Calculating with column vectors: sums, differences, scalar multiples and magnitudes.

Author note — to cover
  • Fluency — adding and subtracting column vectors and multiplying by scalars, negative components throughout (4 questions).
  • Application — the vector translating one given point to another, resultants of two-leg journeys, and a missing component from a stated resultant (4 questions).
  • Catch — magnitudes built on 3-4-5 and 5-12-13 components, and a distractor treating a vector as the coordinates of a point (4 questions).
