Q5 of 73 Page 440

Find the scalar and vector components of the vector with initial point (2, 1) and terminal point (– 5, 7).


Let A be the initial point (2,1) and B be the final point (-5,7).

So, and


Now we want to find the





Therefore, the scalar components of are -7 and 6. The vector components of are .
