Find a unit vector in the same direction as the given vector
Find a unit vector in the same direction as the given vector.
a=4i-3j
Find a unit vector in the same direction as the given vector.
a=4i-3j
a=4i-3j
Solution
magnitude=root(4^2+(-3)^2)=root(16+9)=root(25)=5
unit vector is direction of a is given by dividing both parts by the magnitude
a=(4/5) i - (3/5) j
