Definition
We can write a complex number a + bi as z = x + yi . The magnitude ormodulus of z , denoted as |z |, is the distance of z from the origin
|z | =√
x2 + y2
In other words, |z | = r .
Note
Recall that any complex number a + bi has the conjugate a− bi . Thus,any complex number z = x + yi has the conjugate z̄ = x − yi .

Definition
If r ≥ 0 and 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, the complex number z = x + yi may be writtenin polar form as
z = x + yi = r cos θ + (r sin θ)i = r(cos θ − i sin θ)
Note
If x = r cos θ then cos θ = x/r and likewise sin θ = y/r .

Note
Any two vectors are considered to be equal if they have the samemagnitude and direction. There exact starting and stopping points neednot be the same. For example, all three vectors below are equal.

Adding Vectors
When you add two vectors you can think of visually as starting the secondvector from where the first one left off. We call the black vector ~v + ~w theresultant vector.
Note: Order does not matter either.

Negative Vectors
Given a vector ~v we can also consider −~v . The vector −~v has the samemagnitude as ~v but has a direction opposite of ~v .

Magnitude
Definition
The length of a vector is defined as the magnitude, written as ‖~v‖.
Note
If ‖~v‖ = 1, then we call ~v a unit vector.
![Page 37: PreCalculus Notes - MAT 129 Chapter 10: Polar Coordinates ... - Chapter 10 Slides.pdf · PreCalculus Notes MAT 129 Chapter 10: Polar Coordinates; Vectors David J. Gisch Department](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042623/5faf3d4d8e4cd667726789de/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Algebraic Vector
Definition
We write a vector in algebraic form as ~v = 〈x , y〉, where x and y are calledthe vector’s components. Thus, we also refer to this form as componentform.
![Page 38: PreCalculus Notes - MAT 129 Chapter 10: Polar Coordinates ... - Chapter 10 Slides.pdf · PreCalculus Notes MAT 129 Chapter 10: Polar Coordinates; Vectors David J. Gisch Department](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042623/5faf3d4d8e4cd667726789de/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Algebraic Vector
Theorem
If a vector ~v starts with the initial point P1 = (x1, y1), not necessarily theorigin, and terminal point P2 = (x2, y2), then ~v can be written in algebraicfrom as
~v = 〈x2 − x1, y2 − y1〉
I often think of this formula as taking “the end point minus the startpoint.”

Definition
We also write vectors in algebraic form as ~v = 〈a, b〉 = ai = bj . Here isymbolizes the x-component and j symbolizes the y -component. [Notethat i is not the imaginary i here.]

Adding and Subtracting Vectors (Algebraically)
Properties
If we have two vectors ~u = ai + bj = 〈a, b〉 and ~v = ci + dj = 〈c , d〉, then
~u + ~v = (a + c)i + (b + d)j = 〈a + c , b + d〉~u − ~v = (a− c)i + (b − d)j = 〈a− c , b − d〉α~u = (αa)i + (αb)j = 〈αa, αb〉‖~u‖ =

Unit Vector
Theorem
For any vector ~v, the vector
~u =~v
‖~v‖is a unit vector in the same direction as ~v. Note that this implies
~v = ‖~v‖~u

Example
Find a unit vector in the same direction as ~v = 4i − 3j .
Example
Show that ~v = ‖~v‖~u.

Magnitude and Direction
Vectors, when written as 〈x , y〉 can be thought of as being in rectangularform, though they do not necessarily start at the origin. Vectors can alsobe described by their magnitude, given by ‖~u‖, and direction θ, measuredfrom the positive horizontal. Thus we can treat vectors as polarcoordinates and vice versa, making the arithmetic similar.

Applications
Example

Angle Between Vectors
Theorem
For any two vector ~u and ~v, the angle θ between them can be determinedby
cos θ =~u · ~v‖~u‖‖~v‖
Note that this gives the angle so that 0 ≤ θ ≤ π.

Parallel and Orthogonal Vectors
Theorem
If two vectors were parallel they would either be going in the same directionor in opposite directions, resulting in θ = 0 or θ = 180◦, respectively. Ascos(0) = 1 and cos(180) = −1 we can say that two vectors are parallel if
cos θ =~u · ~v‖~u‖‖~v‖
= ±1
Likewise, two vectors are said to be orthogonal if they form a right angle.As cos(90) = 0, we know two vector are orthogonal if
cos θ =~u · ~v‖~u‖‖~v‖
= 0
which happens if~u · ~v = 0

Projection
Theorem
Given two vectors ~v and ~w, the projection of ~v onto ~w is
~v1 =~v · ~w‖~w‖2
~w =~v · ~w~w · ~w
~w
where ~v1 is parallel to ~w. We also have
~v2 = v − v1
which is perpendicular to ~w.

In elementary physics, the work W done by a constant force F in movingan object from point A to point B is defined as
W = (magnitude of force)(distance) = ‖F‖‖−→AB‖ = F ·
−→AB
Example
The figure below shows a girl pulling a wagon with a force of 50 pounds.How much work is done in moving the wagon 100 feet if the handle makesan angle of 30◦ with the ground?
