Hence, you need to find the unit vector having the same direction as the vector `w = 4j => w = <0,4>` , hence, you need to use the formula, such that:
`u = w/|w|`
You need to evaluate the magnitude |w|, such that:
`|w| = sqrt(a^2+b^2)`
`|w| = sqrt(0^2 + 4^2) => |w| = sqrt(0+16) => |w| = sqrt16 => |w| = 4`
`u = ( <0,4>)/4=> u = <0/4, 4/4>`
`u = <0,1>`
You need to check that the magnitude of the unit vector is 1, such that:
`|u| = sqrt(0^2 + 1^2)`
`|u| = sqrt (1)`
`|u| = 1`
Hence, evaluating the unit vector yields` u = <0,1>.`
