Function is a rule of relationship between two variables in which one is assumed to be dependent and the other independent variable ‘Value of one variable quantity (dependent variable), which we ‘might call y, depends on the value of another variable quantity (independent variable), which we might call x. Since the value of y is completely determined by the value of x, we say that y is a function of x and represent it mathematically as y= f(x). Here f represents the function, xis the independent variable & 1yis the dependent variable, (1). By giving a formula such as y= x? that uses a dependent variable y to denoie the value ofthe function. (2) By giving a formula such as f{x)=x* that defines a function symbol f to name the function. ‘Strictly speaking, we should call the function f and not f(x) 1y=sin x. Here function is sine, x is the independent variable. 1 Various Element (1) Power function: y= x" (2) Trigonometric function: y= sinx, y = cosx, ete (3) Exponential function: y= a", a= positive number called base number.

G Scalars are added, subtracted or divided algebraically, G_ Division of vectors is not allowed as directions cannot be divided. G1. Unit vector gives the direction of vector. D._ Unit vector has no unit. Far example, velacity of an object isms" due East. ie, 7=Sms due East So unit vector @ has no unit as East is not a physical quantity. Q AxA=0. Abo A-A=0 But AxAeA-A Because Ax ALA and A-A is collinear with A Q. Multiplication of a vector with ~1 reverses its direction. then A = B but A Minimum number of collinear vectors whose resultant can bbe zero is two. Minimum number of coplanar vectors whose resultant is zero is three. Minimum number of non-coplanar vectors whose resultant is zero is four. Two vectors are parallel to each other if Ax B =0. Two vectors are perpendicular to each other if AB =0 Displacement, velocity, linear momentum and force are polar vectors. Angular velocity, angular acceleration, torque and angular ‘momentum are axial vectors. G1 Distance covered is always positive quantity. Q_ The components of a vector can have magnitude more or less than that of the vector itself The rectangular components cannot have magnitude ‘greater than that of the vector itself. When we multiply a vector with 0 the produet becomes a null vector. The resultant of two vectors of unequal magnitude can never be a null vector. 1 Three vectors not Iving in plane can never add up to give a null vector. A physical quantity which has different values indifferent directions is called a tensor. For example : Moment of inertia has different values in different directions. Hence moment of inertia is @ tensor. Other examples of tensor are: refractive index, stress, strain, density etc Of AaB, then A=8,,A,=8, and A,=B, oF ae 5,8, B, O WAsd=E ort A+B+E=0, hen A,B and C tein one plan _WAxB=6, then € is perpendicular to A as wellas B G 1 |A+B|=|A-B), then angle between A and B is 90° Resultant of two vectors will be maximum when @ = 0° ie. vectors are parallel Ry, = VP? +Q + 2PQ cos 0" =|P+Q| ‘Thus, maximum value of the resultant of two vectors is equal to the sum of their magnitude.

From here, we conclude thet the minimum number of vectors of unequal ‘magnitude whose resultant can be zero is three. On the other fhand, the minimum number of vectors of equal magnitude whose resultant can be 2r0 is Wo.
