Vector Transformations and Unit Vectors

The video tutorial explains how to express a vector as a linear combination of unit vectors and how to apply a transformation matrix to it. The transformation changes the vector into a linear combination of the images of the unit vectors. The tutorial includes graphing the original and transformed vectors and verifying the transformation mathematically.

How can a vector in two dimensions be expressed?

• As a quotient of unit vectors

What is the role of unit vectors in expressing a vector?

• They are used to divide the vector

• They are used to express the vector as a linear combination

• They are used to multiply the vector

• They are used to subtract from the vector
