SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that the graphic representation for covariant coordinates (x₀, y₀) and contravariant coordinates (x⁰, y⁰) of a black vector is indeed correct. Participants agree on the definitions and distinctions between these coordinate types, emphasizing their importance in differential geometry and tensor analysis. The clarity of these representations is essential for accurate mathematical modeling in physics and engineering.

Hellow everybody!

A simples question: is it correct the graphic representation for covariant (x₀, y₀) and contravariant (x⁰, y⁰) coordinates of black vector?
