LP modulus signs, e.g.
x2 + y2
• a is the magnitude of a
• AB is the magnitude of AB .

3 Vector geometry

1 Represent vectors by directed line segments.

2 Use position vectors.
3 Use the sum and difference of two or more
vectors to express given vectors in terms of two
coplanar vectors.
4 Use vectors to reason and to solve geometric Examples include:
problems. • show that vectors are parallel
• show that 3 points are collinear
• solve vector problems involving ratio and
similarity.
