Your Input

Find the unit vector in the direction of u=317,417,317\mathbf{\vec{u}} = \left\langle - \frac{3}{17}, - \frac{4}{17}, \frac{3}{17}\right\rangle.

Solution

The magnitude of the vector is u=3417\mathbf{\left\lvert\vec{u}\right\rvert} = \frac{\sqrt{34}}{17} (for steps, see magnitude calculator).

The unit vector is obtained by dividing each coordinate of the given vector by the magnitude.

Thus, the unit vector is e=33434,23417,33434\mathbf{\vec{e}} = \left\langle - \frac{3 \sqrt{34}}{34}, - \frac{2 \sqrt{34}}{17}, \frac{3 \sqrt{34}}{34}\right\rangle (for steps, see vector scalar multiplication calculator).

Answer

The unit vector in the direction of 317,417,317\left\langle - \frac{3}{17}, - \frac{4}{17}, \frac{3}{17}\right\rangleA is 33434,23417,334340.514495755427527,0.685994340570035,0.514495755427527.\left\langle - \frac{3 \sqrt{34}}{34}, - \frac{2 \sqrt{34}}{17}, \frac{3 \sqrt{34}}{34}\right\rangle\approx \left\langle -0.514495755427527, -0.685994340570035, 0.514495755427527\right\rangle.A
