GEOMETRIC VECTORS
Vectors with the same length and same direction are called
equivalent.
v+ (-v) = 0
(-v) has the same length as v but is
oppositely directed.
Definition:
If v and w are two vectors, then
the difference of w from v is
defined by:
v – w = v + (-w)
GEOMETRIC VECTORS
kv = 0 if k = 0 or v = 0
Vectors in Coordinate Systems
v = (v1, v2)
v1 , v2 = components of v
kv = (kv1, kv2)
Vectors in Coordinate Systems
Vectors in 3-Space: xy –plane, xz-plane, yz-plane
Ex : (2,-3,4) = 2i – 3j +4k
Planes in 3-Space
To find the equation of the plane passing through the point P0 (x0,y0,z0)
and having the nonzero vector n = (a,b,c) as a normal.
Vector is orthogonal to n; that is,
Example :
Find an equation of the plane passing through the point (3,-1,7) and perpendicular
to the vector n = (4,2,-5).
Point-normal form is :
Equation of the plane is :
ax + by + cz + d = 0 4x + 2y – 5z +24 = 0
Equation of a Plane Through Three Points
Find the equation of the plane passing through the points P1 (1,2,-1), P2 (2,3,1) ,
and P3 (3,-1,2).
ax + by + cz + d = 0
