Darveena Prananand Vectors
A vector quantity is defined as one having magnitude (or size) and direction. Examples of vectors are weight, velocity,
acceleration and displacement.
Vector AB can be represented by the column matrix (or column vector), ( xy ). Thus, AB = ( xy ).

1. Two vectors are said to be equal if they both have the same magnitude and direction.
2. When two vectors have the same magnitude but opposite directions, then one vector is said to be the inverse of
the other.
