                                                  From notes:

                                                      1. Define vector.
                                                      2. How can you determine a vector’s direction?  Its
                                                         magnitude?
                                                      3. What is notation for magnitude?
                                                      4. What makes 2 vectors equivalent (or more)?
                                                      5. Show, by a quick sketch of each, the difference
                                                          between Polar coordinates of a vector and
                                                          Cartesian form.




               1)                      2)                      3)                      4)








               5)                                              6) Using the above      7) Using the above
                                                               graph, identify         graph, identify
                                                               magnitude of vector     magnitude of vector
                                                               v.                      n.






               8) From graph           9) Identify v+n. Is it  10) Identify v+k        11) Find n+v-k
               above,  identify        the same as n+v?
               magnitude of vector
               k.



               From last unit . . .
               15) What is the csc of  16) What is the sec     17) If the tan (t) -7,  18) If cos(t) = , what
                                                                                                     3
               180°?                   14                      find tan (-t).                        5
                                        3?                                             is sec (-t)?




               19) Why can’t I have a cosine or sine ratio that is greater than one, but yet a tangent can be
               greater than one?
