In this chapter, we will be learning about vectors.
We will start by understanding the difference between vectors and scalars, and how to identify whether a quantity is a vector or a scalar.
We will then learn how to represent vectors using directed line segments and vector notations.
This will help us determine the magnitude and direction of vectors.
We will also learn about addition and subtraction of vectors, as well as how to apply these concepts in a Cartesian plane.
By the end of this chapter, we will have a good understanding of vectors and how to work with them.
• Compare and contrast between vectors and scalars, and hence identify whether a quantity is a vector or a scalar by providing justifications
• Represent vectors by using directed line segments and vector notations, and hence determine the magnitude and direction of vectors
• Make and verify conjectures about the properties of scalar multiplication on vectors
• Make and verify conjectures about parallel vectors
• Perform addition and substraction involving two or more vectors to obtain a resultant vector
• Solve problems involving vectors
• Represent vectors and determine the magnitude of the vectors in the Cartesian plane
• Describe and determine the unit vector in the direction of a vector
• Perform arithmetic operations onto two or more vectors
• Solve problems involving vectors
