Question

What is the difference between vector form and cartesian form? @Kainui

Answer 1

Well cartesian usually refers to the regular old rectangular coordinates. A vector can be represented in many ways, including cartesian coordinates, but you can also have a vector be represented in polar form with an angle and length.

I'd need more context to give you a better answer. But generally speaking a vector is an arrow, which is slightly different than just a point.

Answer 2

Well I have about 12 formulas for my 3d geometry lesson, for example,

Equation of a plane in normal form is given by:

Vector form:

And

Cartesian form



What makes the difference?
