Given: P(8, 4) and Q(-1, 9). Write the component form of vector PQ. Show all work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The vector PQ is going to be (-1-8, 9-4) = (-9, 5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see. Thank You.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey cool name and pic MRBONEZ wish i took it first lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i am a girl so the title Mr isnt really fit 4 me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello? i am kinda freakin out here pls talk pls ( i am scared)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry and thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wheeew u can and will chat wi me lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha okay. whats up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sky a roof what else!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha... i mean whats going on...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know i am chating with u and nothing else besides that lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay. I am right now just working on a worksheet... so i am flipping tabs every time I get a notification you wrote something \[:)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk and i fell sooo bad 4 u ( u got 2 do a work sheet)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not bad... Its just an early start of school... not really... but yeah...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ur funny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what grade are you going into for the 2011 - 2012 school year?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

does component form mean: Xi + Yj ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont even know what Xi + Yj means...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i and j are how we write out a vector in equation form .. sorta

OpenStudy (amistre64):

V<3,5> means: 3i+5j

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. but am i correct in assuming that if you do (x2-x1,y2-y1) that i will receive my answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i think the <> and the ij ae interchangable in the component form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When i say (-9,5) i mean -9i + 5j, i havent used that notation in a loooong time though, my bad >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, so after -9i + 5j, what next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[-9,5]^T (T means transpose, to column) is your vector or you can just write Vector PQ in component form is -9i + 5j (i and j are unit vectors in the x and y directions and represent the basis for the vector space).
