Vector geometry

What this topic asks you to be able to do

  • Represent a vector as a directed line segment.
  • Use position vectors.
  • Use sums and differences of two or more vectors so that a given vector can be written in terms of a pair of coplanar vectors.
  • Use vectors in geometric reasoning and problem solving: for example, show that vectors are parallel or that 3 points are collinear, or solve a vector problem that involves ratio and similarity.
