Chapter 9: Q. 4 (page 603)

4. If v=<a,b>is an algebraic vector whose initial point is the origin, then vis called a(n) ________ vector.

Short Answer

Expert verified

If v=<a,b>is an algebraic vector whose initial point is the origin, then v is called a(n) Positionvector.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1 Definition for the position vector:

We always represent an algebraic vector in a rectangular co-ordinate system in a plane so that if v=<a,b>is an algebraic vector whose initial point is the origin ,then v is called the position vector because it is positioned with respect to the origin.

02

Step 2 Its terminal point is any point denoted by the co-ordinate a,b.

The direction of the position vector always points from the origin of that vector towards the given point. Position vector is used to help us find the location of one object relative to another object.
