EUCLIDEAN LINE, PLANE AND SPACES
We know about the real line or real number system R, R is one dimensional.
Consider the two dimensional plane R2={(a ,b)/ a ,b Ꜫ R}.
In R2 ,the elements of the form (a ,b) are called the ordered pairs of a & b.
In R2, the addition and multiplication are defined as
for x=(a1,b1) , y=(a2,b2) in R2
x +y=(a1+a2,b1+b2 ) and x .y=(a1.a2 ,b1.b2)
Here R2 is called as an Euclidean plane.
Now consider the three dimensional space R3={(a ,b ,c )/ a ,b ,c Ꜫ R}.
In R3,the elements of the form (a ,b ,c) are called ordered triples of a, b, c.
The addition and multiplication in R3 are same as in R2 .
Similarly in R4, the elements of the form (a ,b ,c ,d) called as ordered 4- tuples of real numbers in which the addition and multiplication are same as in R2 & R3.
∴In general the nth dimensional Euclidean space Rn of all ordered n-tuples of real numbers of the form (a1,a2,…,an )
i.e., Rn = {(a1,a2,…,an ) / a1,a2,…,an Ꜫ R}.
for x= (a1,a2,…,an ) ; y=( b1, b2,…, bn) Ꜫ Rn, where ai , bj ꜪR
x+y= (a1+ b1, a2+ b2,…, an+ bn) and
x.y = (a1. b1, a2. b2,…, an. bn) also
for any 𝛂 Ꜫ R, ax= (𝛂a1, 𝛂a2,…, 𝛂an ).
In Rn , the absolute value of x is defined as |x| = √ (a12+a22+…+an2 )
= square root (a12+a22+…+an2 )
* for n>2, the sets Rn are called Euclidean spaces,
* R2 is called Euclidean plane whereas
* R is called an Euclidean line.
