Definition: Vectors are often represented by the coordinates of the terminal point of a
vector. These are called the components of the vector.
Example:
Definition: Two vectors u (u1 , u 2 ,, u n ) and v (v1 , v2 ,, vn ) in R n are called equal
if
u1 v1 , u 2 v2 , , u n v n
difference: w v ( w1 v1 , w2 v2 ,, wn vn )
