Scale Factor-
Scaling a vector by a scalar value.
Direction Unchanged-
Scalar multiplication preserves direction.
Magnitude Changes-
Scalar modifies the length or magnitude of the vector.
Dot Product of Vectors:
Definition-
1 Scalar multiplication of vector.
Calculation-
2
Multiply corresponding vector components, then sum.
Geometric Interpretation-
3
Projection of one vector into another.
The dot product takes two vectors, multiplies their matching parts, and
adds them up to give one number showing their alignment.
Cross Product of Vectors:
Definition: 1
A vector operation that produces a
vector perpendicular to two input
vector. 2 Calculation:
Involves determinant of a 3x3 matrix
with vector components.
Properties: 3
Cross product is anti-commutative
and satisfies distributive property.
Applications of Vector Algebra:
Key concepts include vector addition, scalar multiplication, dot product, and cross product - all of
which have diverse applications.
Mastering vector algebra enables advanced problem-solving in fields like engineering, physics,
and computer graphics.
