Vector Can Be Added, Subtracted and Multiplied

Vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, represented by an arrow. Vectors can be added, subtracted, and multiplied. There are four main methods to find the sum of vectors: parallelogram, cosine, polygon, and analytic. The parallelogram method involves drawing vectors to form a parallelogram. The polygon method connects vectors head to tail. The analytic method uses vector components and calculates the x and y components of the sum. Finding vector sums is important in physics and engineering applications.
