*Maths revision course by Miriam Hanks * Vectors – what are they? Vectors describe movements i, j and k represent movement in the x,y and z directions Vectors – How to calculate To calculate vector BA, subtract: BA = a - b B O A resultant Vectors - resultants To find the resultant, add the components of the vectors together Vectors - magnitude The magnitude of a vector is its length. The notation for this is vertical lines: eg |a| or |PQ| To find the magnitude of a vector, use Pythagoras or the distance formula. Vectors - Collinearity To show that 3 points are in a stra
