Vectors in Three-Dimensional Space Vectors By a vector a, we mean an ordered triple of real numbers: a = (a1 , a2 , a3 ). The numbers a1 , a2 , a3 are called the components of a. Two vectors are “equal” if they have the same components; (a1 , a2 , a3 ) = (b1 , b2 , b3 ) iff a1 = b1 , a2 = b2 , a3 = b3

for a=(a1,a2,a3)) and b=(b1,b2,b3) (13.2.1) we define a+b=(a1+b1,a2+b2,a3+b3). 个 a+b=(a,+b,a2+b2,a3+b) b=(b,b2,b3) d=(a,a2,a3) Main Menu 5

Vectors in Three-Dimensional Space Parallel Vectors For a0,the vectors parallel to a are by definition (13.2.6) the scalar multiples aa. (13.2.7) By special convention,all vectors are said to be parallel to 0. if a and b are both parallel to c,then every linear combination (13.2.8) aa+Bb is also parallel to c. Main Menu 5
