Vector Addition by Allen Olson
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the process of vector addition. Key mathematical concepts include the geometric representation of vectors and vector addition. By constructing vectors u and v, and their endpoints C and D, the geometric meaning of vector addition is illustrated. GeoGebra commands used include Vector, objects A, B, u, v, u_x, u_y, v_x, v_y, result. Suitable for students at the junior high school level and above to learn basic concepts and operations of vectors.
GeoGebra Commands & Parameters
Vector(A, B) → uVector(C, D) → vVector((x(u), 0)) → u_xVector((x(u), 0), (x(u), y(u))) → u_yVector((x(u), y(u)), (x(u) + x(v), y(u))) → v_xVector((x(u) + x(v), y(u)), (x(u) + x(v), y(u) + y(v))) → v_y
