Vectors, can be associated with an animated villain or cool mathematical concept. Sadly, I will have to explain the math one. Vectors in space, unlike normal vectors, exist in a 3D field, and therefore have three coordinates that denote is position unlike vectors on a plane. A vector in space can be denoted by v= <v1,v2,v3>. This means that there are three axes in all, the x, the y, and the z.The zero vector is denoted by 0 = <0,0,0>. The unit vectors are as follows : i= <1,0,0>, j= <0,1,0>, and k= <0,0,1> in the direction of the positive z-axis. One can obtain the component form of a vector by subtracting the values of the coordinates of the starting point by the values of the coordinates of the terminal point. Equations for vectors in space are as follows:
and an example of a vector in space:
