How do you convert a vector to component form

The video tutorial explains how to convert a vector into component form. It begins with an introduction to vectors on a Cartesian coordinate grid, followed by setting up an example with initial and terminal points. The tutorial then details the steps to convert the vector into component form using a formula, emphasizing the importance of standardizing vectors by placing the initial point at the origin. Calculations are performed to find the component form, and the vector is plotted to demonstrate its magnitude and direction. The tutorial concludes by highlighting the consistency of the vector's properties after conversion.
