UnitVector[ <Vector> ]
Yields a vector with length 1, which has the same direction and orientation as the given vector. The vector must be defined first.
Example:
Let v=\begin{pmatrix}3\\4\end{pmatrix}. UnitVector[v]http://www.geogebra.org/ggb.xsd\begin{pmatrix}0.6\\0.8\end{pmatrix}.
UnitVector[ <Line> ]
Yields the direction vector of the given line, with length 1 .
Example:
UnitVector[3x + 4y = 5] http://www.geogebra.org/ggb.xsd\begin{pmatrix}0.8\\-0.6\end{pmatrix}.
UnitVector[ <Segment> ]
Yields the direction vector of the given segment, with length 1.

CAS Syntax

In CAS View only one syntax is allowed:

UnitVector[ <Vector> ]
Yields a vector with length 1, which has the same direction and orientation as the given vector.
Example:
UnitVector[{a, b}] yields {\frac{a}{\sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2}}}, \frac{b}{\sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2}}}}.
Example:
UnitVector[{2, 4, 4}] http://www.geogebra.org/ggb.xsd{\frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{2}{3}}.
