Question - 4 : -

Find the valuesof x and y so that the vectors are equal

Answer - 4 : - Given vectors
will be equal only if their corresponding components are equal.
Thus,the required values of x and y are 2 and 3respectively.

Question - 5 : -

Find the scalar andvector components of the vector with initial point (2, 1) and terminal point(–5, 7).

Answer - 5 : -

The scalar and vector components are:

The vector with initial point P (2, 1) and terminal point Q (–5,7) can be shown as,

Thus, the required scalar components are –7 and 6 while thevector components are
