Vector Operations and Equations

The video tutorial explains how to express vector W as a combination of vectors U and V. It begins by converting vectors U and V into component form, then forms a system of equations to solve for scalars A and B. The solution shows that vector W can be expressed as -2 times vector U minus vector V. The tutorial concludes with a geometric interpretation, illustrating how the vectors combine to form vector W.

What is the component form of vector U?

• (3, 1)

• (2, -1)

• (1, 3)

• (-1, 2)

How is vector V represented in component form?

• (2, -1)

• (3, 1)

• (-1, 2)

• (1, 3)

What equation represents vector W as a combination of vectors U and V?

• U x V = W

• A x V + B x U = W

• U + V = W

• A x U + B x V = W

What is the first equation derived from the horizontal components?

• -A + B = 1

• -A - B = 1

• A - B = 1

What is the second equation derived from the vertical components?

• 3A - 2B = -7

• 2A + 3B = -7

• 3A + 2B = -7

• 2A - 3B = -7

What is the value of scalar A after solving the equations?

• 2

• -1

• 1

• -2

What is the value of scalar B after solving the equations?

• -2
