Answer:

The unit vector in component form is \hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}  \right) or \hat{u} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i-\frac{3}{13}\,j.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be \vec u = (2,-3), its unit vector is determined by following expression:

\hat {u} = \frac{\vec u}{\|\vec u \|}

Where \|\vec u \| is the norm of \vec u, which is found by Pythagorean Theorem:

\|\vec u\|=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-3)^{2}}

\|\vec u\| = \sqrt{13}

Then, the unit vector is:

\hat{u} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{13}} \cdot (2,-3)

\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}  \right)

The unit vector in component form is \hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}  \right) or \hat{u} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i-\frac{3}{13}\,j.

Solve:<br> -8r - (-2r-3) = 13<br><br> (if you can give a step by step, that would be great!)
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

r =  -  \frac{5}{3}  = 1 \frac{2}{3}  =  - 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

- 8r -  ( - 2r - 3) = 13

- 8r + 2r + 3 = 13

- 6r + 3 = 13

- 6r = 13 - 3

- 6r = 10

\boxed{\green{r =  -  \frac{5}{3}  = 1 \frac{2}{3}  =  - 1.6}}
