1Question

What is the real plane R2 composed of?

Answer

All ordered pairs of real numbers.

2Question

What three properties characterize a geometric vector from A to B?

Answer

Magnitude, direction, and orientation from A to B.

3Question

What is the zero vector in geometric terms?

Answer

It is the vector with magnitude zero representing all such vectors including every vector AA.

4Question

What does Chasles' relation state for points A, B, and C?

Answer

AB→+BC→=AC→\overrightarrow{AB}+\overrightarrow{BC}=\overrightarrow{AC}

5Question

What defines an orthonormal frame in the plane and space?

Answer

Standard vectors are unit length and mutually orthogonal.

6Question

What is the formula for the norm of a vector (x,y,z) in R3?

Answer

x2+y2+z2\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}

7Question

When are two vectors considered collinear?

Answer

When one is a real scalar multiple of the other.

8Question

What condition defines three points A, B, and C as aligned?

Answer

Vectors AB and AC are collinear.

9Question

What is the dot product formula for vectors in R2?

Answer

It is a1b1+a2b2a_1b_1 + a_2b_2 for u = (a1,a2) and v = (b1,b2).

10Question

When are two vectors orthogonal based on their dot product?

Answer

They are orthogonal if their dot product is zero.
