Finding the Unit Vector of a Vector in Standard Form

The video tutorial explains the concept of unit vectors, which have a magnitude of 1, similar to the unit circle. It describes how to find a unit vector by dividing a given vector by its magnitude. An example is provided using a vector with components -2 and 5, demonstrating the calculation of its magnitude and the resulting unit vector. The tutorial verifies the unit vector's magnitude and concludes with a definition, emphasizing that dividing a vector by its magnitude always results in a unit vector.
