Resultant Vector

A resultant vector is the single vector that results from adding two or more vectors, representing their combined effect. Geometrically it is found by joining vectors head to tail, or by the parallelogram law.

In component form, we simply add the corresponding i\mathbf{i} and j\mathbf{j} parts.

Where it appears in Add Math

You meet Resultant Vector in the Vectors chapter of SPM Additional Mathematics. Knowing the term precisely matters in the exam: questions often hinge on reading a keyword correctly, and because SPM marking is analytic, using the right definition in your working helps secure method marks.

Our teachers make sure a student can not only recite what Resultant Vector means but use it fluently in a full solution.

The term in three languages

Because the SPM Add Math paper is bilingual (BM/EN), it helps to know this term in each language: Resultant Vector (EN) · Vektor Paduan (BM) · 合向量 (中文)
