Document Summary

Components: entries that appear in a vector. By n-space, mean the collection of all n-vectors. If m n then irm and irn have no elements in common. Two n-vectors are equal if and only if all components are identical. To add two n-vectors, add the corresponding components of each vector. Scalar multiple vector is obtained by multiplying each component by the scalar multiple. Negative or opposite is the vector multiplied by scalar multiple (-1) Zero vector is vector whose every entry is zero i where 1 i n has all zeros except the ith component which is a 1. Theorem: let u, v, w irn and a, b ir. The following hold: (1) (u + v) + w = u + (v + w) addition is associative (2) u + v = v + u (3) u + 0n = u (4) u + (-u) = 0n.
