Addition and Scalar Multiplication of Vectors
The addition and scalar multiplication of vectors are basic operations that can be done using their geometric or the algebraic representations. When looking at the geometric representation we can understand scalar multiplication of vectors as scaling. The addition of vectors can also be performed two ways using the geometric representation.
