how to calculate the unit vector of a vector whose magnitude is given is parallel to another one
Unit vector is a vector which has a modulus or magnitude (size).

Any parallel vector to the vector a a may be written a λaa which is a non-zero scalar.

Don't know how I can help without a question. :erm:

If you are given that your vector is parallel to some vector a\mathbf{a} then the unit vector in that direction is given by aa\frac{\mathbf{a}}{|\mathbf{a}|}.
thanks guys
The first term of an arithmetic progression is −2222 and the common difference is 17. Find thevalue of the first positive term.

What's your expression for u_n? What does this get you when you set u_n to 0?
I get 5
