How is a vector more specific than a line segment?
What are and and what do they represent?
They are unit vectors. They are used to represent the horizontal and vertical components of a vector. They each have a magnitude of 1.
What is component form?
When a unit vector is expressed as which letter is the coefficient of the and which the
The first number always represents the coefficient of the and the second represents the
