Q
What is a vector?
A
A quantity having direction as well as magnitude
2
Q
What is convex combination?
A
the new vector must be within the vector space of the original two vectors
Multiplying two vectors to find the middle vector
D = αAB + βAC, α and β represent the real number that each vector will be multiplied by
α and b must both be greater than or equal to 0 and α + β = 1, so that D is within the vector space
