5-3 Algebraic Vectors
Note: This lesson provides an alternative way to solving vector problems. If you are already comfortable with solving problems using geometric vectors (like the previous lesson), then it is not mandatory to learn about algebraic vectors. You may move on to the next lesson if you wish.
Learning Goal:
I can ...
- represent and draw vectors algebraically
- perform the operation required to determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector
Lesson:
There is an error in the last example in the following video. He writes "22i", but it should be 32i in the resulting vector.
