vector
Component Form
<x, y, z>
Scalar Multiplication
2 a = a + a
Parallel Vector
Two vectors are parallel if one of them is a scalar multiple of the other
Equal Vector
Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction
Negative Vector
A negative vector is the vector that has an opposite direction of the original vector.
They are still parallel.
Zero Vector
Vector that has 0 length
Position Vector
Vector that represent the line segment from the origin to that coordinate
Written as OA
Examples: Coordinate: A(2, 3) = Position Vector: <2, 3>
Magnitude of Vector
Magnitude of the vector = The length or Distance of the vector
Found by using Pythagoras Theorem:
Square root of (x squared) + (y squared)
Unit Vector
Unit vector = the direction of the vector written as:
1
|v |
v
Collinear Vectors
2 Vectors are collinear if they:
Are parallel
Share a same point
Midpoint of a Vector
A = (Xa,Ya)
B = (Xb,Yb)
M = Midpoint
= +
Dot Product
Cross Product
Magnitude of Cross Product
Vector Equation
An equation that represents a vector.
Line in 2D
The direction vector could be used for finding the gradient (aka. slope) by:
m = y2 / x2
Line in 3D
Just like everything in Line in 2D but with a z value
In case of 3D:
Vectors are Coplanar if they are: Intersecting, Parallel or Coincident
If Vectors arent Coplanar, then they are Skew
Intersect The simultaneous equations give out the values of parameter that could
be substitute into the original equation and returns the same coordinate
Collinear
Skew Find out Parallel and Intersect by using the method provided above
first. If they do not meet those requirement, the are skew.
Application of Vectors
Basically, it is solving vector in word problems.
