Vectors Quiz

This quiz is designed to test your understanding of vector concepts in mathematics at the college level. Please read each question carefully and provide a complete and concise answer.

Questions

  1. Define a vector and explain the key characteristics that distinguish a vector from a scalar.

  2. Given the vectors A = (3, -2, 1) and B = (-1, 4, 2), calculate the dot product of vectors A and B and explain its geometric significance.

  3. Describe the process of vector addition and illustrate it with an example using vectors U = (2, 1) and V = (4, -3). What is the resultant vector?

  4. Explain the concept of the cross product of two vectors in three-dimensional space. Calculate the cross product of vectors P = (1, 2, 3) and Q = (4, 5, 6). What does the result represent?

  5. Discuss the concept of a unit vector and provide a method to convert a given vector into a unit vector. Convert the vector R = (6, 8) into a unit vector and calculate its magnitude.

Please ensure that your answers are accurate and provide any necessary calculations to support your conclusions. Good luck!
