The unit vector is given by the following formula:
a '= (a) / (lal)
Where,
a: vector a
lal: Vector module a
We are looking for the module:
lal = root ((- 15) ^ 2 + (8) ^ 2)
lal = 17
Same direction:
a = -15i + 8j
The unit vector is:
a '= (1/17) * (- 15i + 8j)
Opposite direction:
a = 15i - 8j
The unit vector is:
a '= (1/17) * (15i - 8j)
Answer:
a unit vector that has the same direction as the vector a is:
a '= (1/17) * (- 15i + 8j)
a unit vector that has the opposite direction of the vector a is:
a '= (1/17) * (15i - 8j)
