Position Vectors (A) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: Pre-Calculus
CCSS: HSN.VM.B.5.B
CCSS Description: Compute the magnitude of a scalar multiple cv using ||cv|| = |c|v. Compute the direction of cv knowing that when |c|v ≠ 0, the direction of cv is either along v (for c > 0) or against v (for c < 0).

Position Vectors (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

The worksheet is great to use as part of a vector geometry unit. In section A, it explores position vectors using vector algebra, the properties of parallel vectors, and points that are collinear. In section B, it then introduces the concept of line segments split in a ratio and the position of those points in terms of given vectors.
