If →u and →v are the vectors below, find the vector →w whose tail is at the point halfway from the tip of →v to the tip of →v−→u and whose head is at the point halfway from the tip of →u to the tip of →v. Assume all vectors are in standard position.
u: (-1,-1,-1) v:(2,3,-5)

Question

If →u and →v are the vectors below, find the vector →w whose tail is at the point halfway from the tip of →v to the tip of →v−→u and whose head is at the point halfway from the tip of →u to the tip of →v. Assume all vectors are in standard position.
u: (-1,-1,-1)   v:(2,3,-5)

anonymous · Answer

There are four locations(points) that are made reference to. The tips of u and v, as well as halfway up to the tip of v, and the tip of v-u. When you find these four points, you can find the midpoints between them using the midpoint formula.
