Give your answer exactly (e.g. sqrt(123)), not as a decimal. |
What is the norm ("length") of
v? (Use Pythagoras to find it.) Divide
v by its norm to get a unit vector.

u has to be a unit vector orthogonal to
v. The vector (9,6) is obviously orthogonal to
v, so take a suitable scalar multiple of it, as in part
(a).
