How would I add numbers input by a user one at a time into a vector in MATLAB I have the loop set up but don't know how to add the data into the vector?
First, make sure your vector is initialized outside of the loop. Then, within your loop you need to update the vector. If you want data entered by the user only, you should initialize with an empty vector. Example program (not sure which loop you're using, but I'll use a while loop here): vector=[]; user='y'; while user=='y' user=input('Enter another variable? Type y for yes and n for no: '); if user=='n' break end var=input('Please input variable: '); vector=[vector, var]; end The key part in this coding is the line: >> vector=[vector,var]; as this will update your vector with the previous vector values, and then add another value to the vector with whatever number var is. Hope this helps!
How do you find the vector sum and vector difference of the two vector quantities?
Element by element. That is: Sum all the first elements to get the first element of the result; Sum all the second elements to get the second element of the result...The vector sum is obtained by adding the two quantities. The vector difference is obtained by subtracting one from the other. Hint: 'sum' always means addition is involved, 'difference' always means subtraction is involved.* * * * *That is the algebraic answer. There is also a geometric answer.To sum vectors a and b, draw vector a. From the tip of vector a, draw vector b. Then a + b is the vector from the base of a to the tip of b. To calculate a - b, instead of drawing b,draw the vector -b, which is a vector of the same magnitude as b but going in the opposite direction.
Can a vector be represented in terms of unit vector?
Yes, a vector can be represented in terms of a unit vector which is in the same direction as the vector. it will be the unit vector in the direction of the vector times the magnitude of the vector.
Can a vector space have exactly two distinct vectors in it?
No.A vector space is a set over a field that has to satisfy certain rules, called axioms. The field in question can be Z2 (see discussion), but unlike a field, a vector's inverse is distinct from the vector. Therefore, in order to satisfy the "inverse elements of addition" axiom for vector spaces, a vector space must minimally (except if it is the null space) have three vectors, v, 0, and v-1. The null space only has one vector, 0.Field's can allow for two distinct elements, unlike vector spaces, because for any given element of a field, for example a, a + (-a) = 0 meets the inverse axiom, but a and -a aren't required to be distinct. They are simply scalar magnitudes, unlike vectors which can often be thought of as having a direction attached to them. That's why the vectors, v and -v are distinct, because they're pointing in opposite directions.
Is vector A parallel vector B given that vector A is equal to the zero vector and vector B is equal to the zero vector?
The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector. V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.
