1.1.52 Vector Algebra

condition: It is known that the two sides of the triangle \( A B C \) are specified by the vectors \( \overline{A B}=2 \bar{p}-\bar{q} \) and \( \overline{A C}=3 \bar{p}+2 \bar{q} \), where \( |\bar{p}|=3,|\bar{q}|=1 \quad \) and \( \quad \) the angle between the vectors \( \bar{p} \) and \( \bar{q} \) is equal to \( \pi / 3 \); a) find the scalar product of the vectors \( \bar{p} \) and \( \bar{q} \); b) express the vector \( \overline{B C} \) in terms of the vectors \( \bar{p} \) and \( \bar{q} \); c) calculate the length of the median of the triangle \( A B C \) drawn from the vertex \( A \).

Vector algebra is a branch of algebra that studies linear operations on vectors and their geometric properties. In the section you will find problems on the decomposition of vectors, scalar, vector and mixed products, coordinates of vectors in different bases and much more.
