I used $a,b, \text{ and } c$ as constant multiples of the unit vectors for V in each direction to express V in component form also. You understand you have to solve for the constants $a,b, \text{ and } c$, correct? ... how else would you do it? Thanks from Shariq Faraz Last edited by skeeter; April 14th, 2017 at 09:32 AM.
