In this video we look at practice problems involving unit vectors. In particular, we look at examples of finding unit vectors in the same direction as position vectors, and using the standard unit vectors in the x and y directions to define other vectors.

This video series is designed to help students understand the concepts of Calculus 3 at a grounded level. No long, boring, and unnecessary explanations, just what you need to know at a reasonable and digestible pace, with the goal of each video being shorter than the average school lecture!

Calculus 3 requires a solid understanding of concepts from calculus 2, calculus 1, precalculus, and algebra. This includes limits, differentiation, advanced integration techniques, applications of derivatives and integrals, polar coordinates, parametric equations, trigonometric functions, logarithms, factoring, equation manipulation, graphing, and much more. If you are not familiar with these prerequisite topics, be sure to learn them first!
