To find out the unit vector in the same direction of other vector, we can calculate the magnitude of its vector and then divide all coordinates by the magnitude, remember that the definition of a unit vector is that its magnitude is 1.

We can calculate the magnitude of a 2D vector as

                                              \Large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}v = \left(x, y\right)\\ \\\|v\| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\end{gathered}$}

I'll call the vector (-4, 7) as v, so the magnitude of v is

                                       \Large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}v = \left(-4, 7\right)\\ \\\|v\| = \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2 + \left(7\right)^2}\\ \\\|v\| = \sqrt{65}\\ \\\end{gathered}$}

So the unit vector that i'll call as v with an hat is

                                                   \Large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\hat{v} = \frac{v}{\|v\|}\end{gathered}$}

The vector divided by its magnitude, when we divide a vector by a scalar it's the same as divide all the coordinates, so

                                      \Large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\hat{v} = \frac{v}{\|v\|}\\ \\\hat{v} = \frac{v}{\sqrt{65}}\\ \\\hat{v} = \frac{\left(-4, 7\right)}{\sqrt{65}}\\ \\ \boxed{\hat{v} = \left(-\frac{4}{\sqrt{65}}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{65}}\right)}\end{gathered}$}

We can also remove the square root from the denominator, then

                            \Large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\hat{v} = \left(-\frac{4}{\sqrt{65}}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{65}}\right)\\ \\\hat{v} = \left(-\frac{4}{\sqrt{65}}\frac{\sqrt{65}}{\sqrt{65}}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{65}}\frac{\sqrt{65}}{\sqrt{65}}\right)\\ \\\hat{v} = \left(-\frac{4\sqrt{65}}{65}, \frac{7\sqrt{65}}{65}\right)\\ \\\end{gathered}$}

Use what you prefer!

Answer:

Explanation:

Compute the magnitude:

∣∣→a∣∣=√(−10)2+62+(−7)2

∣∣→a∣∣=√100+36+49

∣∣→a∣∣=√185

To obtain the unit vector of →a=(−10,6,−7), we divide each component by √185 but we should rationalize 1√185 to √185185:

ˆa=(−10√185185,6√185185,−7√185185)
