• a is the position vector of point A

• b is the direction vector of line L

• r is the position vector of all points in L, represented by P(x,y)

• OB + BC = OC

• OA + AC = OC

• CB + B0 = -OC

• OD = 0.5(OA + AC)

Vectors a, b, c are defined as:

a = 2i + 5j; b = i - 3j; c = -3i - j. Answer all correct answers

• a + b = 3i + 8j

• a - b = i + 8j

• a + c = -i + 4j

• c - b = -5i + 6j

Given the vector v = 3i -2j +6 k, the magnitude of v is:

• 36

• 49

• 7

• 6

Given the line L: r = a + tb, where a = i+2j+3k and b= 2i -3j + k

• a line with direction vector 2i +4j + 6k is parallel to L

• a line with direction vector 4i -6j + 2k is parallel to L

• a line with direction vector 3i - j + 7k is parallel to L

Given parallel vectors u and v. Answer ALL that apply

• their scalar product is zero

• their scalar product is either 1 or -1

• u is a multiple of v

• magnitude of u equals the magnitude of v

The scalar product of u and v is zero, therefore...

• vectors u and v are parallel

• vectors u and v are perpendicular

• vectors u and v are equal

• vectors u and v are multiples
