Three-Dimensional Vector Operations

The video tutorial explains how to determine a three-dimensional vector given initial and terminal points. It starts by introducing the coordinates of points P and Q, then visualizes these points in a 3D coordinate system. Finally, it demonstrates how to calculate the vector from P to Q by subtracting the coordinates of P from Q, resulting in the vector components -2i, 4j, and k.
