The vector_difference function is used to calculate the difference of two vectors online.
vector_difference(vector;vector)
vector_difference(`[1;1;1];[5;5;6]`) returns [-4;-4;-5]
The vector calculator allows to determine the difference of two vectors of the plane or space.
Let (O,`vec(i)`,`vec(j)`) a frame of the plan, `vec(u)` and `vec(v)` two vectors that have the respective coordinates (`x_u`,`y_(u)`) and (`x_(v)`,`y_(v)`) in the frame (O,`vec(i)`,`vec(j)`) .
The vector `vec(u)-vec(v)` has coordinates (`x_(u)`-`x_(v)`,`y_(u)`-`y_(v)`) in the system (`vec(i)`,`vec(j)`).
The vector calculator is able to subtract vectors that have numeric or literal coordinates.
Let `vec(u)`(1;2) `vec(v)`(3;5) to calculate the difference `vec(u)`-`vec(v)`, enter vector_difference(`[1;2];[3;5]`) , after calculation the vector [-2;-3] is returned.
Let `vec(u)`(a;b) `vec(v)`(2*a;`b`) to calculate the difference `vec(u)`-`vec(v)`, enter vector_difference(`[a;b];[2*a;b]`)
Let (O,`vec(i)`,`vec(j)`,`vec(k)`) a space frame, `vec(u)` and `vec(v)` two vectors that have the respective coordinates (`x_u`,`y_(u)`,`z_(u)`) and (`x_(v)`,`y_(v)`,`z_(v)`) in the frame (O,`vec(i)`,`vec(j)`,`vec(k)`) .
The vector `vec(u)-vec(v)` has coordinates (`x_(u)`-`x_(v)`,`y_(u)`-`y_(v)`,`z_(u)`-`z_(v)`) in the system (`vec(i)`,`vec(j)`,`vec(k)`).
The vector calculator is able to subtract vectors that have numeric or literal coordinates.
Let `vec(u)`(1;2;1) `vec(v)`(3;5;2) to calculate the difference `vec(u)`-`vec(v)`, enter vector_difference(`[3;5;2];[1;2;1]`) after calculation the result [2;3;1] is returned.
Let `vec(u)`(a;b,c) `vec(v)`(2*a;2-b,c+1) to calculate the difference `vec(u)`-`vec(v)`, enter vector_difference(`[a;b;c];[3*a;2;2*c+1]`) , after calculation, the result is returned.
