How to find the component form and magnitude of a vector

The video tutorial explains how to find the magnitude of a vector using the distance formula. It begins with an introduction to the concept of magnitude and the importance of the distance formula in geometry. The tutorial then delves into the application of the distance formula to vectors, explaining how to calculate the magnitude by considering the changes in x and y coordinates. The component form of vectors is also discussed, highlighting its role in simplifying magnitude calculations. An example problem is solved to demonstrate the practical application of these concepts. The tutorial concludes with a recap of the key points covered.
