Functions Involving Parameters, Vectors, and Matrices
What is the result of multiplying a vector by a scalar?
The vector's direction changes, but its magnitude remains the same.
The vector becomes a zero vector.
Both the vector's magnitude and direction change.
The vector's magnitude changes, but its direction remains the same.
Which component form represents the zero vector in two-dimensional space?
<-1, -1>
<0, 1>
<1, 0>
<0, 0>
What is the graphical representation of a vector with an initial point at the origin and a terminal point at (4, 3)?
An arrow drawn from the origin (0, 0) to the point (4, 3)
A dotted line drawn from the origin to the point (4, -3)
A solid line segment connecting points (0, 0) and (-4, -3)
An arc curving from the origin to the point (-4, 3)
If we have a vector , what does it look like when plotted on a Cartesian plane?
An arc stretching from the origin to coordinates (3,-5)
An arrow starting at (0,0), moving right 3 units and down 5 units
Two separate arrows; one along x-axis for three units and one along y-axis for five units
An arrow starting at (3,-5), pointing towards the origin
What scalar multiple c results in a unit vector when multiplied by vector u =<12,-16>?
One twelfth
One eighth
Two third
Four fifth
In which quadrant would you find a vector with negative x-component and positive y-component?
Third quadrant
Fourth quadrant
Second quadrant
First quadrant
What effect does negating all components in one operand vector have on their cross-product with another non-zero vector?
The resulting vector points in exactly the opposite direction from before negation.
Magnitude remains unchanged while its projection onto any plane changes drastically due to inversion symmetry principles.
Only magnitude changes due to inherent asymmetries in spatial orientation under component-wise negation procedures.
There is no change to either magnitude or direction due to scalar cancellation properties.

If vector v has an initial point at (2, -3) and a terminal point at (7, 4), what is the component form of vector v?
<5, 7>
<9, 1>
<-9, -1>
<-5, -7>
What is the magnitude of a vector that has components (3, 4)?
12
5
7
Which components should replace "a" and "b" in vector , so it will be orthogonal to and represent minimum possible non-zero magnitude?
b=a/8 because direct proportionality would cause orthogonality without considering scale.
b=15/8*a because this represents another vector orthogonal to v.
b=-15*a because only adjusting scale makes it orthogonal to v.
b=-8/15*a because any scalar multiple could work but minimizing gives smallest non-zero values.
