| vector |
✓ |
$(3, 2)$ is a vector in $\reals^2$, because it is an element of the vector space $\reals^2$.
|
| coordinate vector |
✓ |
$(3, 2)$ is its own coordinate vector relative to the standard basis, because $(3, 2) = 3 (1, 0) + 2 (0, 1)$.

Distinctions using this example
- Vector vs. coordinate vector: In $\reals^n$ with the standard basis, a vector is its own coordinate vector, which is why vectors and coordinate vectors are easy to confuse.
