i and j are the unit vectors along the x and y-axis, respectively. What is the magnitude and direction of the vectors I + j and i - j? What are the components of Vector A, vector = 2i + 3j, along the directions of I + j and i - j?

The magnitude of vector A is 21.5 units and points in the direction 330° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. Calculate the x- and y-components of this vector.

Vector $\vec{A}$ has magnitude $1.3 \mathrm{~m}$ and points $30^{\circ}$ clockwise from the $x$-axis. Vector $\vec{B}$ has magnitude $1.9 \mathrm{~m}$. Find the direction of $\vec{B}$ such that $\vec{A}+\vec{B}$ is in the $y$-direction.
