Illustrate both ways of visualizing vector subtraction. That is, draw two points $\bs{p}$ and $\bs{q}$ and then draw the resulting point $\bs{p}-\bs{q}$ and the translated direction vector $\bs{p}-\bs{q}$ .
Explain the process of normalizing a vector. What is the norm of a normalized vector?
How can you determine if two vectors are orthogonal? Are the vectors $[2 \; 2]$ and $[-5 \; 5]$ orthogonal?
Illustrate the set of convex combinations of two points, $\bs{p}$ and $\bs{q}$ .
Given three matrices such that $\bs{A} \bs{B} = \bs{A} \bs{C}$ . Does it follow that $\bs{B} = \bs{C}$ ?
