Understanding Vector Equality

The video tutorial explains how to determine if two vectors are equal by comparing their magnitudes and directions. It begins with an introduction to vector equality, followed by a detailed explanation of calculating vector magnitudes using the distance formula. The tutorial then covers how to determine vector direction using the tangent function. Finally, it compares two vectors, A and B, to prove their equality and discusses the importance of understanding vector direction in relation to quadrants.

• Same magnitude and different direction

• Same magnitude and same direction

• Different magnitude and same direction

• Different magnitude and different direction
