Vector

- A vector is an element of a vector space, this concept is more abstract vector spaces and many can not be represented by their delivery module, the length and orientation.

AB is a fixed vector oriented going from point A (home) to point B (end) segment.


Elements of a vector 

Direction of a vector:

The vector direction is the direction of the line containing the vector or any line parallel to it.

Direction of a vector:

The direction of the vector is the one that goes from the origin to the end B.


Magnitude of a vector: 

The magnitude of the vector AB is the length of segment AB is represented by | AB |.

The magnitude of a vector is always positive or zero.

Coordinates of a vector:

The coordinates of the vector AB are the coordinates of the end minus the coordinates of the origin.


- There are everal types of vectors, such as the equipollent, free, fixed, attached, opposite vectors, unit, concurrent, position, linearly dependent and linearly independent, orthogonal and orthonormal.
