Domain - Vector and Matrix Quantities
Cluster - Perform operations on vectors.
[PC.N-VM.B.4.a] - (+) Add vectors end-to-end, component-wise, and by the parallelogram rule. Understand that the magnitude of a sum of two vectors is typically not the sum of the magnitudes.
- Vector
A quantity with magnitude and direction in the plane or in space, defined by an ordered pair or triple of real numbers.
[PC.N-VM.B.4.b] -
(+) Given two vectors in magnitude and direction form, determine the magnitude and direction of their sum.
[PC.N-VM.B.4.c] -
(+) Understand vector subtraction v – w as v + (–w), where –w is the additive inverse of w, with the same magnitude as w and pointing in the opposite direction. Represent vector subtraction graphically by connecting the tips in the appropriate order, and perform vector subtraction component-wise.
