Find all vectors v in the plane such that ||v||=1 and ||v+i||=1

OpenStudy (phi):

is this the complex plane ?

OpenStudy (heyitsjess28):

no; "i" is a component of a vector on a 2D plane

OpenStudy (phi):

| v | means v is on the unit circle

OpenStudy (heyitsjess28):

||v|| is the magnitude of vector v

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, and with the tail of v at (0,0) its head must lie on the unit circle

OpenStudy (phi):

I assume v+i means \[ v_x \hat{i} + v_y \hat{j} + 1 \hat{i} \]

OpenStudy (phi):

if so, we can draw this picture |dw:1472423613391:dw|
