Expert Solution
Step 1

Concept:

Vector functions, also called vector-value functions, have a real set of numbers as their domain in contrast to the range, which returns a collection of vectors.

Now for the vector function v=x,y.

The magnitude of the vector function is   v=x2+y2 .

The formula provides the angle created by the vector and the x-axis. θ=tan-1yx.
