Example 1: The points A(-1,2), B(2,5) and C(3,0) are given. Find the position vectors of
AB, BC and CA .
Components of a Vector: The coordinates of head of a position vector of any vector are called the
components of that vector.
The components of the position vector of a vector whose tail is A(a, b) and head is B(c, d) can be
calculated as:
u B A (c a,d b)
Example 2: The points A(-3,2) and B(3,7) are given. Find the components of position vectors of
AB, BA and AA
