CAN SOMEONE PLZ HELP!!! NERD IN NEED! FIND THE COMPONENT FORM OF OF THE VECTOR V WITH //V//=12, IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS U=<3,-5>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

//U// = sqrt(34) so multiply each component of <3, -5> by 12/sqrt(34)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'M SORRY CAN U EXPLAIN A LITTLE MORE?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find the unit vector of <3, -5> you would multiply by the 1/sqrt(34)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<3/sqrt(34), -5/sqrt(34)> would have the same directon as <3, -5> and have magnitude 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 12 * <3/sqrt(34), -5/sqrt(34)> would have the same direction as <3, -5> and have magnitude 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is <36/sqrt(34), -60/sqrt(34)>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ALRIGHT I GET IT NOW THANK U :]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HEY WHAT'S THAT SYMBOL THAT U PUT IN THE 4TH REPLY?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by * I meant times

OpenStudy (anonymous):
