Q. Given the vector v \mathbf{v} has an initial point at (4,7) (4,7) and a terminal point at (1,7) (-1,7) , find the exact value of v \|\mathbf{v}\| .\newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify components of vector vv: Identify the components of the vector vv. The vector vv is defined by its initial point (4,7)(4,7) and its terminal point (1,7)(-1,7). To find the components of the vector, we subtract the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point. v=(terminal point)(initial point)v = (\text{terminal point}) - (\text{initial point}) v=(14,77)v = (-1 - 4, 7 - 7) v=(5,0)v = (-5, 0)
  2. Calculate magnitude of vector v: Calculate the magnitude of the vector vv. The magnitude of a vector (also known as the norm or length) is calculated using the formula v=vx2+vy2||v|| = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}, where vxv_x and vyv_y are the components of the vector. v=(5)2+(0)2||v|| = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (0)^2} v=25+0||v|| = \sqrt{25 + 0} v=25||v|| = \sqrt{25} v=5||v|| = 5
