Vectors In The Plane (1 of 2)
Geometrically, a vector in the plane is represented by a
directed line segment with its initial point at the origin and
its terminal point at (x1, x2), as shown below.

Vectors In The Plane (2 of 2)
The same ordered pair used to represent its terminal point
also represents the vector. That is, x = (x1, x2). The
coordinates x1 and x2 are the components of the vector x.
Two vectors in the plane u = (u1, u2) and v = (v1, v2) are
equal if and only if
u1 = v1 and u2 = v2.

Vectors in R caret n (1 of 8)
An ordered n-tuple represents a vector in n-space. For
instance, an ordered triple has the form (x1, x2, x3), an
ordered quadruple has the form (x1, x2, x3, x4), and a
general ordered n-tuple has the form (x1, x2, x3, ... , xn). The
set of all n-tuples is n-space and is denoted by
