You can change the vector in the form above to see how its diagram changes.

Notice that the v 1 component is measured along the x-axis, while the v 2 component is measured along the y-axis. The 2-dimensional vector v = (v 1, v 2) in the diagram below has magnitudeġ2.81, the distance from the origin to (8, 10), and direction, the orientation of the arrow from the origin to (8, 10). If the n-tuples are complex numbers, then v is an element of C n, an n-dimensional complex space. A vector v can be represented by an n-tuple of real numbers:Ĭonsidered to be elements (points) of R n, an n-dimensional real space.
