How do I define a vector starting on the x-Axis at -d/2 ending at d/2 on the x-Axis?

A vector on the x-axis is a mathematical concept that represents a quantity with both magnitude and direction along the x-axis. It is typically denoted by a boldface letter or an arrow above the variable.
The range of a vector on the x-axis is from -d/2 to d/2, where d is the total distance covered by the vector. This means that the vector can have a magnitude of up to d/2 in either the positive or negative direction on the x-axis.
A vector on the x-axis is represented graphically by a line segment with an arrow pointing in the direction of its magnitude. The length of the line segment represents the magnitude of the vector, while the direction of the arrow represents the direction of the vector along the x-axis.
Examples of vectors on the x-axis include displacement, velocity, and acceleration in one-dimensional motion. These quantities have both magnitude and direction along the x-axis, making them vector quantities.
A vector on the x-axis is different from a scalar in that a scalar only has magnitude, while a vector has both magnitude and direction. Scalars are represented by regular letters, while vectors are represented by boldface letters or arrows above the variable.
