UNIT VECTORS, VECTOR ADDITION, & SCALAR-VECTOR MULTIPLICATION
1. Based on the same vectors illustrated above, find the unit vectors (expressed in ๐‘–ฬ‚-๐‘—ฬ‚ form) of the following vectors:

WORD PROBLEMS
EASY ROUND:
Suppose Hadji lives in a subdivision where houses are arranged in a grid-like fashion. He wants to visit his longtime girlfriend
Beau who had just recently moved into his subdivision. On the way to his girlfriend from his own house, as he was rolling
through the street in a straight line due north, he noticed that he had passed 6 houses before turning 90° to the west, and had
passed another 4 houses before arriving to her girlfriend’s house.
Express the angle and distance between the two houses via a vector in navigation form.
HARD ROUND:
Andrea & Crystal the explorers find themselves lost in a dense jungle. They decide to use their trusty compass and map to
navigate their way back to his camp. According to the map, the camp is located at a position represented by the vector
๐ถโƒ— = (10, 5) in meters.
However, the compass is malfunctioning and gives them incorrect directions. It tells them to walk in the direction of the vector
โƒ—โƒ—โƒ— = (3, 2) in meters. They unknowingly follow the compass's instructions and walk in that direction for a while.
๐‘€
After some time, they realize their mistake and consult the map again. They determine that they have actually walked in the
opposite direction of where they should have been going. Andrea & Crystal want to know how far they have deviated from the
correct path.
How far are they from the camp?
To which direction (in common/layman form) should they face while walking in order to go back to camp?
