Question

I need help visualizing this vector problem.

Answer 1

@ganeshie8

Answer 2

imagine that it was a 2D problem, you will realize that the vector connecting tips of u and v is the vector (v-u)

Answer 3

tail is half way along (v-u)

so position vector of the tail is: u+ 1/2(v-u)

Answer 4

okay

Answer 5

what about the head of W?

Answer 6

just add the componants of u and v to get (u+v)
then find the vector that connects the tip of u to tip of (u+v)

Answer 7

is this what ur talking about?

Answer 8

no, lets break the problem into two parts
first we will find position vector of tail
then we will find the postion vector of head

Answer 9

ok
