Solution
Correct Answer:
3î + 4ĵ + 5k̂
- Definition: The position vector OP of a point P(x,y,z) is the vector directed from the origin (0,0,0) to the point.
- Component Form: It is represented by using the coordinates as coefficients for unit vectors i^,j^,k^.
- Application: For P(3,4,5), the vector is 3i^+4j^+5k^.
