Which of the following points could be the initial point of vector v if it has a
magnitude of 10 and the terminal point (-3,3) ?
(-9,-5)
(-13,-7)
(0,2)
(-0.3,0.3)


Sagot :

The initial point of vector v if it has a magnitude of 10 and the terminal point (-3,3) is option B (-9,-5).

How to find the vector component?

If we have given a vector v of initial point A and terminal point B

v = ai + bj

then the components form as;

AB = xi + yj

Here, xi and yj are the components of the vector.

Given;

The magnitude of 10 and the terminal point (-3,3).

v = ai + bj

v = [tex]\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}[/tex]

10 =  [tex]\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}[/tex]

AB = (-3 - a)i + (3 - b)j

If we put (-9,-5)then

AB = (-3 - a)i + (3 - b)j

AB = (-3 + 9)i + (3 + 5)j

AB = 6i + 8j

Put the value in the vector magnitude

10 =  [tex]\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}[/tex]

   = [tex]\sqrt{6^2 + 8^2}\\\\\sqrt{36+ 64}\\\\\sqrt{100}[/tex]

10 = 10

Thus, The correct option is B (-9,-5).
