Vectors in two dimensions

Study with Me – Vectors in Two Dimensions

Addition and Subtraction of Vectors, Component Form, Dot Product, Scalar and Vector Projection

In this video, I will demonstrate the manipulation of vectors in component form using sample exam questions under the Extension 1 Maths (3U) course. Examples include:

  • Addition and subtraction of vectors

  • Illustrating the position vector on the Cartesian plane

  • How to perform calculations in component form

  • Dot product (or scalar product) and some key properties

  • Scalar and Vector Projection

  • Vectors in geometry

  • Harder exam questions

This is relevant for both Year 11 and Year 12 students preparing for HSC Mathematics and HSC Maths Extension 1 for 2020 and onwards.
