Q. Given the vector v has an initial point at (1,0) and a terminal point at (1,−6), find the exact value of ∥v∥.Answer:
Understand the Formula: The magnitude of a vectorv with initial point (x1,y1) and terminal point (x2,y2) is given by the formula ∣∣v∣∣=((x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2). We need to plug in the coordinates of the initial and terminal points into this formula to find ∣∣v∣∣.
Substitute Given Points: Substitute the given points into the formula: ∣∣v∣∣=(1−1)2+(−6−0)2.
Calculate Differences: Calculate the differences: ∣∣v∣∣=(0)2+(−6)2.
Square the Differences: Square the differences: ∣∣v∣∣=0+36.
Add the Squares: Add the squares: ∣∣v∣∣=36.
Take the Square Root: Take the square root: ∣∣v∣∣=6.
