Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Constructing a Vector from Given Components**
**Objective:**
Learn how to construct a vector from given components using the tools provided to move and scale the vectors accordingly.
**Instruction:**
Construct the vector \( 0.9 \mathbf{d} + 1.5 \mathbf{c} \) having initial point \( P \).
**Detailed Steps:**
1. **Identify the Given Vectors:**
- \( 1.0 \mathbf{c} \) (Illustrated as a vector pointing upward to the right in red).
- \( 1.0 \mathbf{d} \) (Illustrated as a vector pointing upward to the left in red).
2. **Using the Vectors:**
- Locate the initial point \( P \) in your working space.
- Use the provided tools to move and scale the vectors shown.
**Tools Available:**
- **Move Tool:** Allows you to move the vectors to adjust their positions.
- **Scale Tool:** Adjusts the length of the vectors to represent scalar multiplication (i.e., scaling \( \mathbf{c} \) and \( \mathbf{d} \) by 0.9 and 1.5, respectively).
- **Draw Tool:** To sketch vectors.
- **Eraser Tool:** To remove any mistakes.
- **Reset Tool:** Resets the workspace to the original state.
- **Help Tool:** Provides additional guidance.
- **Confirm Tool (Check Mark):** Confirms the final vector construction and submits the answer.
**Example Diagrams:**
In the provided visual aids:
- The left box contains the working space with reference vectors \( 1.0 \mathbf{c} \) and \( 1.0 \mathbf{d} \).
- The right box contains the tools for moving, scaling, drawing, erasing vectors, and other functionalities.
**Instruction:**
Using these tools:
- Scale \( \mathbf{d} \) by 0.9 to get \( 0.9 \mathbf{d} \).
- Scale \( \mathbf{c} \) by 1.5 to get \( 1.5 \mathbf{c} \).
- Combine these two scaled vectors to construct the resultant vector \( 0.9 \mathbf{d} + 1.5 \mathbf{c} \) starting from point \( P \).
Ensure that you place and scale the
