Find the components of vector A=2icap + 3j cap along the directions of vector i cap+j cap and i cap - j cap .

Given that

We know,

= component of a along b.

So, a cosθ = Component of a along b.

Component a along c is given by

  • 0

(1) a = 2i + 3j
b = i + j

(a.b)/|b|

Component= 5/
√2 (Also called projection)

(2)

a = 2i + 3j
b = i - j

Component= (2-3)/

√2
Projection = -1/
√2
