Section A: Column Vectors
#### Questions 1-6: Write as column vectors
For each question, we need to determine the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) components of the vector and write them as a column vector.
1. Question 1:
- The vector starts at \((1, 1)\) and ends at \((4, 4)\).
- Horizontal component: \(4 - 1 = 3\)
- Vertical component: \(4 - 1 = 3\)
- Column vector: \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}\)
2. Question 2:
- The vector starts at \((1, 1)\) and ends at \((3, 0)\).
- Horizontal component: \(3 - 1 = 2\)
- Vertical component: \(0 - 1 = -1\)
- Column vector: \(\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\)
3. Question 3:
- The vector starts at \((1, 1)\) and ends at \((3, 2)\).
- Horizontal component: \(3 - 1 = 2\)
- Vertical component: \(2 - 1 = 1\)
- Column vector: \(\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}\)
4. Question 4:
- The vector starts at \((1, 1)\) and ends at \((5, 1)\).
- Horizontal component: \(5 - 1 = 4\)
- Vertical component: \(1 - 1 = 0\)
- Column vector: \(\begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}\)
5. Question 5:
- The vector starts at \((1, 1)\) and ends at \((4, 3)\).
- Horizontal component: \(4 - 1 = 3\)
- Vertical component: \(3 - 1 = 2\)
- Column vector: \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}\)
6. Question 6:
- The vector starts at \((1, 1)\) and ends at \((1, 0)\).
- Horizontal component: \(1 - 1 = 0\)
- Vertical component: \(0 - 1 = -1\)
- Column vector: \(\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\)
#### Questions 7-9: Draw the column vector
For each question, we need to draw the vector starting from the origin \((1, 1)\).
7. Question 7: \(\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}\)
- Start at \((1, 1)\).
- Move 2 units right and 4 units up.
- End point: \((3, 5)\).
8. Question 8: \(\begin{pmatrix} -6 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}\)
- Start at \((1, 1)\).
- Move 6 units left and 0 units up/down.
- End point: \((-5, 1)\).
9. Question 9: \(\begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}\)
- Start at \((1, 1)\).
- Move 3 units left and 3 units down.
- End point: \((-2, -2)\).

Section B: Sum of Vectors
#### Questions 1-5: Draw the sum of the vectors
For each question, we need to add the given vectors graphically.
1. Question 1: \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}\)
- Add the components: \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 + 0 \\ 1 + 2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}\).
- Draw the resulting vector from \((1, 1)\) to \((4, 4)\).
2. Question 2: \(\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}\)
- Add the components: \(\begin{pmatrix} 1 + (-3) \\ 2 + (-3) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\).
- Draw the resulting vector from \((1, 1)\) to \((-1, 0)\).
3. Question 3: \(\begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} -5 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\)
- Add the components: \(\begin{pmatrix} 4 + (-5) \\ 0 + (-1) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\).
- Draw the resulting vector from \((1, 1)\) to \((0, 0)\).
4. Question 4: \(\begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}\)
- Add the components: \(\begin{pmatrix} -2 + (-3) \\ -4 + 3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -5 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\).
- Draw the resulting vector from \((1, 1)\) to \((-4, 0)\).
5. Question 5: \(\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\)
- Add the components: \(\begin{pmatrix} 0 + (-2) \\ -2 + (-1) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}\).
- Draw the resulting vector from \((1, 1)\) to \((-1, -2)\).
#### Questions 6-9: Write the sum of the vectors
For each question, we need to add the given vectors algebraically.
6. Question 6:
- The vector starts at \((1, 1)\) and ends at \((4, 4)\).
- Components: \(\begin{pmatrix} 4 - 1 \\ 4 - 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}\).
7. Question 7:
- The vector starts at \((1, 1)\) and ends at \((3, 2)\).
- Components: \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 - 1 \\ 2 - 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}\).
8. Question 8:
