Numbers with a minus sign in a matrix not aligned with the numbers wihtout minus sign
What should I do to get all the 1 with a minus sign (-) in front of them aligned with the other 1 and the 0 in those vectors?
documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{book}
usepackage{amsmath}
begin{document}
$$
v_1 = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -1 \ 0 \0 end{bmatrix}, quad
v_2 = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ 0 \ -1 \0 end{bmatrix}, quad
v_3 = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ 0 \ 0 \-1 end{bmatrix},
$$
end{document}

As you've discovered, the bmatrix environment centers the cell contents. To achieve right-alignment, you may want to load the mathtools package (a superset of the amsmath package) and use a bmatrix* environment with optional argument r.

documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{book}
usepackage{mathtools}
begin{document}
[
v_1 = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -1 \ 0 \0 end{bmatrix}, quad
v_2 = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ 0 \ -1 \0 end{bmatrix}, quad
v_3 = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ 0 \ 0 \-1 end{bmatrix}.
]
[
v_1 = begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 \ -1 \ 0 \0 end{bmatrix*}, quad
v_2 = begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 \ 0 \ -1 \0 end{bmatrix*}, quad
v_3 = begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 \ 0 \ 0 \-1 end{bmatrix*}.
]
end{document}
