What is a Vector?

• A vector is a point in space.
• A vector is a quantity with magnitude but without direction.

• A vector is a type of graph.
• A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.

What is a Scalar?

• A physical quantity with both magnitude and direction

• A physical quantity without magnitude or direction

• A physical quantity with magnitude only

• A scalar is a type of matrix.

If you have the angle and the hypotenuse and want to find the ADJACENT side on a right triangle, which function should you choose?

• sine function
• cosine function
• tangent function
• fungent function

You use the inverse of a trigonometric function to find

• The adjacent side

• The angle corresponding to a given trigonometric value.
• The hypotenuse

• The opposite side

If you have the angle and the hypotenuse and want to find the OPPOSITE side on a right triangle, which function should you choose?

• sine function
• secant function
• tangent function
• cosine function

What term describes the length of a vector?

• Position

What does the term 'component' describe when referring to vectors?

• A component is the total length of a vector.
• A component refers to the angle of a vector.
• A component describes the projection of a vector along a specific axis.
• A component describes the direction of a vector.

What term is used to describe a vector's orientation or the direction in which it points?

• Position
• Length
• Direction
• Magnitude

The process of determining the magnitude and direction of components of a vector is known as:
