Question

How would you express b⃗ using unit vectors? express your answers in terms of the unit vectors x^ and y^. use the unit vector button under the templates menu in the answer box to create unit vectors?

Answer 1

Answer:

This question seems to be incomplete, so i will answer it in a general way.

If we have a vector;

b = (b1, b2)

where b1 and b2 are the x-component and the y-component (respectively) of the vector b, then we can write the vector as:

b = (b1, b2) = b1*x^ + b2*y^

Where x^ = (1, 0) and y^ = (0, 1)

Are the unit vectors.
