A few simple questions!
u= <-2,4>
v=5i-3i
1) find 6u-v
= <-17,21>
2) fine a unit vector in the direction of v
this one i'm ont sure about
3) graph u, v, and u-v with initial points of origin.
again, i have an idea but im not sure

look there is a typo
```
v=5i-3i
```

why those numbers?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
u= <-2, 4>
v=5i-3j = <5, -3>
6u - v = ?

can you show work for how you got 21 ?

OpenStudy (babynini):
6u = <-12,24>
v= <5,-3>
(-12-5), (24-3) = <-17,21>

or multiplying by scalar?

Idk :/

It's the angle formed by the vector and x.

unit vector is just a vector whose magnitude is 1 and points in the same direction

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
what is the magnitude of vector v ?

er
\[\sqrt{25+9}\]
11 years ago
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes what do you need to do to make it 1 ?

OpenStudy (babynini):
What do you mean?
11 years ago
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
what do you need to do to \(\sqrt{25+9}\) to make it \(1\) ?
11 years ago
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
dividing by \(\sqrt{25+9}\) produces \(1\), yes ?

yeah dividing it by itself
11 years ago
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so the unit vector is simply :
\[\large \dfrac{v}{\|v\|}\]
11 years ago
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
dividing the original vector by its magnitude gives the unit vector

OpenStudy (babynini):
\[\frac{ 5i -3j}{ \sqrt{34} }\]

Yes thats the unit vector in the direction of \(v\)

OpenStudy (babynini):
so that would be the final answer? :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes

To graph the vector u= <-2,4>
first plot the point (-2, 4)
and draw an arrow from (0,0) to (-2,4)

yeah u-v = <-7, 7> is not on this graph
but i see you get how to draw the vectors

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
don't forget to put arrow at the final point
