Usefulness of Component Notation Vector operations such as addition, subtraction and scalar multiplication become simple using component notation!

Vector Addition Using Components Simply add the “x” components to get the “x” component of the answer Add the “y” components to get the “y” component of the answer example: (2,3) + (6,3) = (2+6, 3+3) = (8,6) adding multiple vectors is also simple: (4,-1) + (-5,2) + (6,3) + (5,2) = (10,6)

Subtraction Using Components Simply subtract the “x” components to get the “x” component of the answer Subtract the “y” components to get the “y” component of the answer example: (2,3) - (6,3) = (2-6, 3-3) = (-4,0) subtracting multiple vectors is similar: (4,-1) - (-5,2) - (6,3) = (3,-6)

Scalar Multiplication Using Components Simply multiply the “x” and “y” components separately to get the “x” and “y” components of the answer example: if d = (2,3) then 4d = (8,12)

Solving Problems Using Components Since the vector operations are much simpler using components, it is often useful to convert vectors into component notation then solve the vector operations and then convert back to traditional magnitude and direction notation
