I don't know how to do this: Given that P = (5, 9) and Q = (13, 12), find the component form and magnitude of vector PQ. (arrow pointing to the right on top of PQ)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the form like the other ones do <x2-x1,y2-y1>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so <8,3> ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes correct that is the component form of the vector. Do you remember how to find the magnitude? We did it in your last question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

adding the squares and then taking the square root of the sum?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that is right! And what do you get when you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt(73)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the magnitude of it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay so, is the final answer <8,3> sqrt(73) or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that is it :)

thanks!
