Answer:
The unit vector u is (-5/√29) i - (2/√29) j
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise the meaning of unit vector
- The unit vector is the vector ÷ the magnitude of the vector
- If the vector w = xi + yj
- Its magnitude IwI = √(x² + y²) ⇒ the length of the vector w
- The unit vector u in the direction of w is u = w/IwI
- The unit vector u = (xi + yj)/√(x² + y²)
- The unit vector u = [x/√(x² + y²)] i + [y/√(x² + y²)] j
* Now lets solve the problem
∵ v = -5i - 2j
∴ IvI = √[(-5)² +(-2)²] = √[25 + 4] = √29
- The unit vector u = v/IvI
∴ u = (-5i - 2j)/√29 ⇒ spilt the terms
∴ u = (-5/√29) i - (2/√29) j
* The unit vector u is (-5/√29) i - (2/√29) j
