Is anyone here ridiculously good at vectors?

My teacher is taking weird turns to draw and calculate vectors, and is placing them in the weirdest place ever, creating new points for no reason, i need to hop on vc with someone to understand whatever is going on cause a forum wont help atp

I have a test tomorrow and im definetely gonna fail🫠

hey~

Hey

#

Im too desperate to mind the ragebaiting account I can't lie

#

Whatever!
We were told to draw a triangle, called ABC.
Then, told again to place a point called P to have a vectors called CP

#

CP vector=CA vector+5/2 × BC vector

#

The values and lengths dont matter, what I care about is why did the teacher add a "representant of 5/2BC", and started to add random points, changing with the calculations

#

#

Im so sorry its in French lol

If u need additional details pls do say cause im so over it

cinder birch If u need additional details pls do say cause im so over it

yes i do

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:16 PM

#

Which ones?

stoic lark Dec 7, 2025, 2:18 PM

#

cinder birch Which ones?

give me the question i will figure it out

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:18 PM

#

cinder birch

I sent the question here

#

Its in French, want me to translate?

stoic lark Dec 7, 2025, 2:19 PM

#

cinder birch Its in French, want me to translate?

yes olease

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:20 PM

#

ABC is a triangle, AB=6, BC=5 and AC=3. We consider the points M, N and P defined by:
AM=½AB + AC ; BN=3/2BC and CP=CA+5/2BC

#

There's vectors everywhere in the equations

#

They want us to draw a figure, the figure i sent in the picture above is the teacher's

okay what is your question

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:25 PM

#

cinder birch

Again, here is the figure. Whyd the teacher add a random point called "S"

#

Calling it a representant

stoic lark Dec 7, 2025, 2:27 PM

#

cinder birch Again, here is the figure. Whyd the teacher add a random point called "S"

is that helping in solving the question

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:27 PM

#

The teacher says so, but how is it helping?

stoic lark Dec 7, 2025, 2:29 PM

#

cinder birch The teacher says so, but how is it helping?

can u take a picture of whole page

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:30 PM

#

The question or the figure?

stoic lark Dec 7, 2025, 2:30 PM

#

the whole thing

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

The next question was
What conjecture can we understand from the points M, N and P

stoic lark Dec 7, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

tell me if im wrong, they gave u some vector ewuation and wnat u to draw it

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:32 PM

#

The answer was that they're all on a single line

#

What the fuck does s do here

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:32 PM

#

stoic lark tell me if im wrong, they gave u some vector ewuation and wnat u to draw it

I meant, I sent u the question, and that was the question yeah

#

They want me to draw 3 different vectors

stoic lark Dec 7, 2025, 2:32 PM

#

are they free vectors

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

Yes

#

We only have the direction and the starting point

stoic lark Dec 7, 2025, 2:35 PM

#

cinder birch We only have the direction and the starting point

then i dont really need allat triangle rectangle and shit js draw them from one point

#

did the mention that u have to draw it the way ur teacher did

#

they*

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:36 PM

#

No

#

He added a representant by himself

stoic lark Dec 7, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

is representant a translation of smth u use in french math

cinder birch Dec 7, 2025, 2:38 PM

#

Oh

#

I meant representative

#

S represents 5/2BC

#

Why do we even need to represent that

stoic lark Dec 7, 2025, 2:38 PM

#

because weiting 5/2 BC too much work

#

wriring

#

writing

#

so we write S vector

#

i think ur confused in position vectors
