This is part of the QCE Specialist Maths course under Unit 3: Mathematical induction, and further vectors, matrices and complex numbers, specifically unit vectors and vectors in two dimensions.
In this post, we look at Topic 2: Vectors and matrices and reviewing the concepts of vectors from Unit 1.
In this post, we cover:
- How to convert a non-zero vector into a unit vector
- Define and use the direction of a vector in two dimension
Unit Vectors
Unit vectors are vectors that have a length of 1 (making them unitary) but can have any angle.
