How To Find Unit Vector?

Find the vector ( mathbf{v} )

Compute its magnitude ( |mathbf{v}| )

Divide the vector by its magnitude: ( hat{mathbf{v}} = dfrac{mathbf{v}}{|mathbf{v}|} )

For ( mathbf{v} = langle a, b, c rangle ), use ( |mathbf{v}| = sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2} )

For ( mathbf{v} = langle a, b rangle ), use ( |mathbf{v}| = sqrt{a^2 + b^2} )

Write the result as the unit vector in the same direction as ( mathbf{v} )
