Graphically for example, oo? length — represents the magnitude arrowhead — represents the direction UNIT VECTOR : ~ isa vector having unit magnitude, Cartesian Unit Vectors |, kin 3D-space : direction of increasing value of x, y, and z respectively. Note: b. Analytically for example, vector A can be represented as A or A.
