2
A vector is a mathematical object that has both magnitude (size) and direction Students will be able to use basic vector operations and the dot product
3
Vector: has both magnitude and direction. Represented with an arrow Magnitude: length of the arrow A vector has an initial point and terminal point to determine direction If segments have the same magnitude they can represent the same vector
4
The initial point must be at the origin Complete a transformation of both points to find the new terminal point in component form. What are the component forms of the two vectors shown here? (this makes it easier to determine the magnitude)
7
Let u = and v = What is |u + v| What is |u - v|
8
If the number is greater than 1, then only the magnitude changes If the number is less than one, then the magnitude changes and the direction is reversed
9
Given u = what is ◦-u◦-u ◦ 1/2u ◦3u◦3u
10
Multiplying two vectors together Expresses and angular relationship v = and w = Then the dot product is v 1 w 1 + v 2 w 2 If the dot product = 0, the two vectors are normal, or perpendicular to each other.
11
Are the following vectors normal?,
