Let us consider a vector P? . The equation can be written as

Px = Py = 1 P? = (Px2+Py2) P? = (12+12)P? = 2 …….(i)

So the magnitude of vector i? + j? = 2

Let θ be the angle made by vector P? , with the x axis as given in the above figure

tan?θ = Px/Pyθ = tan-1?(1/1) , θ = 45 ° with the x axis

Let Q? = i? - j?

Qx?i? – Qy? j? = ( i? – j?)

Qx? = Qy? = 1

Q? = Qx2+Qy2 = 2

Hence Q? = 2 . Therefore the magn
