The Algebra of Vectors
Vectors can be made to make new vectors much in the same way that numbers can.
To add two vectors together in R, simply use the + command.
Vectors can also be scaled via multiplication by a real number (or scalar), using the * command.
Multiplication of two vectors is a trickier topic theoretically, but in R, component-wise multiplication of two vectors is legal and accomplished using the * command.
The vectors x, y, and z have been loaded for you.
