Help with vectors

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

For the following vector v, find magnitude||u||, the unit vector with the same direction angle as v. v = -i + 3j

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

I don't understand the question?? find magnitude of u?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

@Isaiah.Feynman ||u||i believe is just ||v||

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

they are just replacing the variable

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

so in this case sqrt(-1)^2 + (3)^2

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Yes.

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

so \[\frac{ -i +3j }{ \sqrt10 }\]

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

And I believe the final answer would be \[-\frac{ \sqrt10 }{ 10 }+\frac{ 3\sqrt10 }{ 10 }\]

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

and i found out ||u||= the unit vector

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

I think...|dw:1430512445108:dw|
