Given:
The vector
[tex]v=<-3,8>[/tex]Required:
To find the unit vector u with the same direction.
Explanation:
Unit formula is the vector is divided by its magnitude.
Now the magnitude of v is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} mag.v=\sqrt{(-3)^2+8^2} \\ =\sqrt{9+64} \\ =\sqrt{73} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now the unit vector is,
[tex]u=<-\frac{3}{\sqrt{73}},\frac{8}{\sqrt{73}}>[/tex]Final Answer:
[tex]u=<-\frac{3}{\sqrt{73}},\frac{8}{\sqrt{73}}>[/tex]
