Q4 of 37 Page 19

The component of a vector r along X-axis will have maximum value if

When vectors are resolved they have and multiplied to vector’s magnitude. And we know that is always less than 1, this suggests that vectors’ x-component will less than the magnitude of the vector. Therefore, if a vector is lying on the x-axis, then only it will have maximum value as then . (Maximum value of cosθ)
