To find the magnitude and direction of the vectors \( \hat{i} + \hat{j} \) and \( \hat{i} - \hat{j} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Vectors The unit vectors are defined as: - \( \hat{i} \) is the unit vector along the x-axis. - \( \hat{j} \) is the unit vector along the y-axis. ### Step 2: Calculate the Magnitude of \( \hat{i} + \hat{j} \) ...
