Learn how to find the magnitude and direction of the vector

The video tutorial explains how to work with vectors, focusing on finding their magnitude and direction. It begins with an introduction to vectors in component form, followed by a detailed explanation of how to calculate the magnitude using the distance formula and Pythagorean theorem. The tutorial then covers how to determine the direction of a vector by calculating the angle using the tangent function. The instructor emphasizes understanding the relationship between vectors and triangles, and the importance of considering the vector's quadrant when determining the angle.
