||v||=5
u=%26lt;3,3%26gt;
how do I find the vector?
I've been stumped since earlier today.
Anyone help me out, please?|||Treat it as a geometry problem. Any vector passing through (3, 3) will have a slope of 1. So, you need a line of slope 1 such that it's length is 5. Let the vector be (x, y). You know that x = y, so we can write the vector as (x, x). From the Pythagorean Theorem,
5 = sqrt(x^2 + x^2) = sqrt(2x^2)
2x^2 = 25
x^2 = 12.5
x ~ 3.54
So, %26lt;3.54, 3.54%26gt;
