行列式和叉积
点积应用
3)向量A沿着某单位向量u的分量(components of Aalong a direction u)

component of A along u = ∣A∣cos(Θ)
=∣A∣∣u∣.cosΘ
=A.u
4)物理

F沿切向方向的分量使摆来回摆动
- component of F along the target direction T is what causes the pendulum to swing
- component of N
Ex:Area?

Easier:area of triangle

we could find cosΘ,the solve sin2sΘ+cos2Θ=1
more esaier:行列式(determinants)

A′=A rotated 90o
Θ′=2π−Θ
cos(Θ′)=sin(Θ)
∣A∣.∣B∣.sinΘ
=∣A′∣.∣B∣.cos(Θ′)
=A′.B

A=<a1,a2>
A′=<−a2,a1>
A′.B=<−a2,a1>.<b1,b2>
=a1.b2−a2.b1
=det(A,B)
=∣∣∣∣a1b1a2b2∣∣∣∣
So,determinant of A and B = area
空间中的行列式(Determinant in space)
3 vectors A,B,C:
det(A,B,C)=∣∣∣∣∣∣a1b1c1a2b2c2a3b3c3∣∣∣∣∣∣
=a1∣∣∣∣b2c2b3c3∣∣∣∣−a2∣∣∣∣b1c1b3c3∣∣∣∣+a3∣∣∣∣b1c1b2c2∣∣∣∣
note:竖线里(insides verticals bars)
定理(Theorem)
几何学上(Geometrically),det(A,B,C)=± 正负平行六面体的面积(volume of the parallelepiped)
)
叉积(cross product)
of 2 vectors in 3-space
def:AXB= is a vector,not dot product
AXB=∣∣∣∣∣∣ia1b1ja2b2ka3b3∣∣∣∣∣∣
=∣∣∣∣a2b2a3b3∣∣∣∣i−∣∣∣∣a1b1a3b3∣∣∣∣j+∣∣∣∣a1b1a2b2∣∣∣∣k
Theorem:
-
∣AXB∣=area of parallelogram
叉积的模长(length)
- dir(AXB)⊥to plane of a parallelogram(垂直于平行四边形所在的平面)
)
使用右手定则判断垂直的方向(with right-hand rule)
- right hand points parallel to vector A (//A)
- Fingers point //B
- thumb points //AXB
Another look at volume
)
Volume = area(base) X height
=∣BXC∣.(∣A.n)
det(A,B,C)=A.(B X C)
=a1∣∣∣∣b2c2b3c3∣∣∣∣−a2∣∣∣∣b1c1b3c3∣∣∣∣+a3∣∣∣∣b1c1b2c2∣∣∣∣
