Compute the unit vectors in the direction of |v1| and |v2|, where |v1|= 6.32 and |v2|=8.06

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

v1 , v2 are on the same direction ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pretty sure it means compute both directions

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

to find unit vector , divide each component by magnitude \[v_u = \frac{v}{||v||}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be (2, -6)/6.32 and (-4,7)/8.06?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

oh lol u already know v1 and v2 direction ?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

where is this (2,-6) and (-4,7) coming from..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, sorry, I worked out the 6.32 and 8.06 from those vectors in an earlier section. Didn't think they were going to be used in this problem
