Vector Magnitude and Direction

The video tutorial demonstrates how to find the magnitude and direction of a vector. It begins with graphing the vector with components -2 and 5, followed by calculating its magnitude using the square root of the sum of squared components. The direction angle is determined using the tangent function, and adjustments are made for the vector's position in the third quadrant.
