This GeoGebra example demonstrates the dynamic construction of vectors in three-dimensional space, focusing on vectors u and v and the angle α between them, together with related objects a, w and scalars b, c. Core mathematical concepts include spatial vectors, vector addition and scalar multiplication, the angle between vectors and the cosine formula, and 3D coordinate geometry modeling. The construction follows the GeoGebra command summary: the Vector command creates vector objects u, v, a, and w; the Angle command constructs angle α; scalar objects b and c are introduced for parametric control. Suitable for high school senior mathematics (vectors in space) and introductory university engineering or linear algebra courses, ideal for classroom demonstration or student-led exploration of 3D vector geometry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Vector((0, 3, -2)) → u
  2. Vector((4, -2, 3)) → v
  3. Angle(u, v) → α
  4. Vector((2, 4, 1)) → w
  5. Vector((4, 8, 2)) → b
  6. Vector((-4, 2, 0)) → c

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw two vectors u and v in 3D space, with u starting from the origin and ending at (0, 3, -2), and v ending at (4, -2, 3). Use vector w to indicate another direction, ending at (2, 4, 1). Vectors b and c are at (4, 8, 2) and (-4, 2, 0) respectively, for parameter control.
