Find the component from and magnitude of vector PQ The vecto
Find the component from and magnitude of vector PQ. The vector in component form, is .
Solution
Given P(3,-4) and Q = (-5,7)
The vector form is
Q-P (P is starting point and Q is terminal point)
=(-5-3, 7-(-4))
=(2, 11) = (x,y) say
Magnitude of PQ is
= \\sqrt (X^2+y^2)
=\\sqrt(2^2+11^2)
= \\sqrt(4+121)
\\sqrt(125)
= 11.180
