The discussion revolves around ordering a set of five 3D vectors based on their magnitudes. Participants are tasked with determining the sequence from shortest to longest vector length, using the component forms provided.
The discussion is active, with participants exploring different methods for visualizing and calculating vector magnitudes. Some guidance has been offered regarding the representation of vectors and their components, but no consensus has been reached on the ordering of the vectors.
Participants are working with the assumption that the vectors are expressed in standard component form, and there is a note about how to interpret vectors that have only one non-zero component.
They are given in component vector form. "i" represents the unit vector in the x direction, "j" represents the unit vector in the y direction, and "k" represents the unit vector in the z direction. If one number is given that means the vector is directed in only that direction and has no components in the other directions.BrettL789123 said:how do you graph them? how do you graph one that just gives you 1 number?
