Vector Addition Calculator
This Vector Addition Calculator helps you add two 3D vectors by combining their corresponding components. Add the x-components, y-components, and z-components separately, then write the results together as a new vector. This follows the vector addition rule used in coordinate geometry and vector algebra. It is a simple way to check answers, understand the method clearly, and practise vector operations step by step.
Step-by-step method
- Identify the components of A and B.
- Write the component-wise addition rule.
- Substitute the components into the rule.
- Add corresponding components to get the result.
Formula:
Example 1: (1,2,3),(4,5,6)
Step 1 - Identify the components.
In this problem: List the components of both vectors.
Step 2 - Write the rule.
In this problem: Add corresponding components.
Step 3 - Substitute the components.
In this problem: Place your values into the rule.
Step 4 - Add and simplify.
In this problem: Compute each component sum.
Final answer: A + B = ( 5, 7, 9 )
Example 2: (1/2,0,0),(5/2,0,0)
Step 1 - Identify the components.
In this problem: List the components of both vectors.
