Math Problem Statement
De los problemas 27 al 34 encuentre un vector unitario que tenga la misma dirección que el vector dado.
Solution
To solve the problem of finding a unit vector in the same direction as the given vector, we need to normalize the vector. This process involves two main steps:
- Calculate the magnitude (or norm) of the vector:
The magnitude of a vector is given by: - Divide the vector by its magnitude:
A unit vector in the same direction as is given by: This means that each component of the vector is divided by its magnitude.
Now, let's solve a few of the problems from the image step by step:
Problem 27:
- Magnitude:
- Unit Vector: So the unit vector is:
Problem 28:
- Magnitude:
- Unit Vector: So the unit vector is:
Problem 29:
- Magnitude:
- Unit Vector: So the unit vector is:
Would you like to solve more from the list or need further clarifications?
Here are 5 follow-up questions:
- How do you find the magnitude of a 3D vector?
- What is the unit vector in the opposite direction of a given vector?
- Can you apply this method to vectors in higher dimensions?
- How is this concept used in physics, for example, when working with forces?
- How does changing the vector's direction affect its unit vector?
Tip: When normalizing vectors, you can simplify calculations by rationalizing denominators if the magnitude has a square root.
