What to Focus On

  • Vector = magnitude + direction
  • Position vector represents location of a point
  • Direction cosines: l² + m² + n² = 1

  • Vector addition is commutative and associative
  • Parallelogram law gives resultant as diagonal
  • Scalar multiplication changes magnitude and possibly direction

  • Section formula: weighted average of position vectors
  • Internal division: sum in denominator
  • External division: difference in denominator

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The magnitude of vector sum equals the sum of magnitudes: |a⃗ + b⃗| = |a⃗| + |b⃗|

Cross product is commutative: a⃗ × b⃗ = b⃗ × a⃗

Dot product of perpendicular vectors is undefined or doesn't exist
