If a vector V is in standard position and the tip of the vector corresponds to the point (a, b), then we can write the vector in component form as

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]V = <a,b>[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P= (a,b)[/tex] --- Point

Required

Component of V

From the question, we understand that V is in standard position.

This implies that V starts at the origin (0,0) and ends at (a,b)

So, vector V is:

[tex]V = <P(a,b) - O(0,0)>[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]V = <a-0,b-0>[/tex]

[tex]V = <a,b>[/tex]
