Relation of Two Vectors Where One Is of Magnitude Length 1
Relation of Two Vectors Where One Is of Magnitude Length 1
where Y , X isthe inner product of vectors X , Y ,and J isthe counter clockwise rotation matrix by 90 degrees andY=1 Proof:
First noting that angle between two vectors X and Y is given by XY XY = XY X sinceY=1 cos = means
Xcos =XY
(1)
This scalar (magnitude) is in the direction of Y. Since Y=1 we have have the vector (Xcos )Y =XYY =Y , X Y whose magnitude length is Xcos proof:
2 Y , X Y is expressed in component forms as (x 1 y1 + x 2 y 2 y 1 , x 1 y 1 y 2 + x 2 y 2 ) 2 where the magnitude length of such of vector is written
( x
means means in the direction of Y. Now since J Y we need to show Xsin =det (Y , X)

Using the identity sin2 +cos 2 =1 and substituting equation (1) above we have XY sin2 =1 X2

multiplying both sides of this equation by X2 and expanding in component form on the right side of our equation we have
X sin =x1 + x 2 +[( x 1 y1 ) 2x 1 x 2 y 1 y 2(x2 y 2) ]

Multiplying both sides of the equation by Y2=1 where applied to the left side as 1 and applied the right side of the equation as 1 under the second bracketed grouping of terms and expanded in component form on the right side of the equation on the non bracketed terms we have
X sin =(x 1 + x 2)( y 1 + y 2 )+[(x 1 y 1 ) 2x1 x 2 y 1 y 2( x 2 y 2) ]
