The document contains 12 problems related to vectors. The problems involve representing vectors in component form, adding and subtracting vectors, finding vectors given other vectors and scalar multiplication, determining if vectors are parallel or perpendicular, and using vectors to solve geometry problems. The solutions provide the requested vectors, scalars, or geometric relationships in terms of given information like vector components or other defined vectors.
