How to Normalize a Vector
Define a unit vector., Define the Normalization of a vector., Define a bound vector., Describe vector notation.
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Define a unit vector.
The unit vector of a vector A is the vector with the same initial point and direction as A, but with a length of 1 unit.
It can be mathematically proven that there is one and only one unit vector for each given vector A. -
Step 2: Define the Normalization of a vector.
This is the process of identifying the unit vector for a given vector A. , A bound vector in Cartesian space has its initial point at the origin of the coordinate system, expressed as (0,0) in two dimensions.
This allows you to identify a vector solely in terms of its terminal point. , By restricting ourselves to bound vectors, A = (x, y) where the coordinate pair (x,y) indicates the location of the terminal point for vector A. -
Step 3: Define a bound vector.
-
Step 4: Describe vector notation.
