1 Vector: A ector is a matrix that has only one row then we call the matrix a row ector or only one column then we call it a column ector. A row ector is of the form: a a a... A column ector is of the form: b b b b m an A quantity such as force displacement or elocity is called a ector and is represented by a directed line segment A ector in the plane is directed line segment. The directed line segment AB has initial point A and terminal point B; its length is denoted by AB. Two ectors are equal if they hae the same length and direction. Component form If is a two dimensional ector in the plane equal to the ector with initial point at the origin and terminal point ) then the Component form of is: ) If is a three dimensional ector in the plane equal to the ector with initial point at the origin and terminal point ) then the Component form of is: )

2 The numbers and are called the components of. Gien the points P x y ) and Q x y ) the standard position ector ) equal to PQ is x x y y z z) z z The magnitude or length of the ector PQ is the nonnegatie number x x ) y y) z z) The only ector with length 0 is the zero ector 0 00) or 0 000). This ector is also the only ector with no specific direction. Find a) component form and b) length of the ector with initial point P 4 ) and terminal point Q 5 ) Solution: a) 5-4 -) The component form of PQ is - - ) b) The length or magnitude of PQ is ) ) ) 9 Vector Addition and Multiplication of a ector by a scalar Addition: Let u u u ) and ) be ectors with k a scalar. u u u u u )

If u u u ) and ) u u u u ) u Note that u ) u and the difference u as the sum u ) Properties of ector operations: Let u and w be ectors and a and b be scalars. ) u u ) u ) w u w) ) u 0 u 4) u u) 0 5) 0u 0 6) u u 7) a bu) ab) u 8) a u ) au a 9) a b) u au bu Unit ectors A ector of length is called unit ector. The standard unit ectors are: i 00) j 00) k 00) ) 00) 0 0) 00 ) 00) 00) 00) i j k

4 We call the scalar or number) the i-component of the ector the j-component of the ector and the k-component. In component form P x y ) and P x y ) is z z P P x x )i y y )j z z ) k If 0 then u is a unit ector in the direction of called the direction of the nonzero ector. Solution Find a unit ector u in the direction of the ector P 0 ) and P 0). P P )i - 0)j 0 -) k i j- k P P ) ) -) 9 u PP i j k i j PP The unit ector u is the direction of P P. k Midpoint of a line segment The Midpoint M of a line segment joining points P x y ) and P x y ) is the point z x x) y y) z z ) z 4

5 The midpoint of the segment joining P 0) and P 744) is ) Product of ectors u & are ectors There are two kinds of multiplication of two ectors: - The scalar product dot product) u.. The result is a scalar. - The ector product cross product) u. The result is a ector. ) The dot product In this section we show how to calculate easily the angle between two ectors directly from their components. The dot product is also called inner or scalar products because the product results in scalar not a ector. Def.: The dot product Note: u u u of ectors u u u ) and ) is: u u i i i j j j. j k 0 k k k j u Angle between two ectors The angle between two nonzero ectors u u u ) and ) is gien by u u cos u cos where 0 ) u u 5

Blue and purple vectors have same magnitude and direction so they are equal. Blue and green vectors have same direction but different magnitude. A ector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is represented by an arrow. The length of the ector represents the magnitude and the arrow indicates the direction of the ector. Blue and
