For a point P, we call the vector from the origin to the point P the position vector of P. When P has coordinates (1,4,8) the position vector of P has components \(\left( ...

Any vector can be expressed as a sum of a number of other vectors. The vectors which are summed are called the components of the original vector. When you want to add and subtract two dimensional ...
