How do I do this question? I don’t think I have ever learnt this before.

The k component means the vector is in 3D
So for part a it’s just 3D Pythagoras

#

The length of a vector in 3D is sqrt(i component ^2+j component ^2+k component^2)

#

The unit vector is just 1/(magnitude) multiplied scaling all components of the original vector

#

Part c sketch a triangle with points O,D,C as corners and recognise that CD=CO+OD

#

Part d is the same method as part a except you are using a new vector (found in part c)

#

This should be enough hints
