Q. Given the vector v has an initial point at (8,8) and a terminal point at (8,6), find the exact value of ∥v∥.Answer:
Apply 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 apply this formula to the given points to find ∣∣v∣∣.
Substitute Points: Substitute the given points into the formula: initial point (8,8) and terminal point (8,6). This gives us ∣∣v∣∣=((8−8)2+(6−8)2).
Calculate Differences: Calculate the differences: (8−8)2=02=0 and (6−8)2=(−2)2=4.
Substitute Values: Substitute these values into the magnitude formula: ∣∣v∣∣=(0+4).
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression: ∣∣v∣∣=4.
Calculate Square Root: Calculate the square root of 4: 4=2.
