🌍Vectors represent both direction and magnitude.
🔢Vector components can be calculated using coordinate systems.
📏The length of a vector can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem.
✖️Scalar operations involve multiplying vectors by a number.
⋅The dot product measures similarity and the cross product determines orthogonality.
How can I calculate the length of a vector?
—You can calculate the length of a vector using the Pythagorean theorem.
What are scalar operations?
—Scalar operations involve multiplying vectors by a scalar (number).
What is the dot product?
—The dot product measures the similarity between two vectors.
What is the cross product?
—The cross product determines whether two vectors are orthogonal (perpendicular).
How do vectors represent both direction and magnitude?
—Vectors have both a magnitude (length) and a direction in space.
