Grootte van $$$\left\langle - \frac{\sqrt{5} \cos{\left(t \right)}}{5}, - \frac{\sqrt{5} \sin{\left(t \right)}}{5}, 0\right\rangle$$$

Bepaal de grootte (lengte) van $$$\mathbf{\vec{u}} = \left\langle - \frac{\sqrt{5} \cos{\left(t \right)}}{5}, - \frac{\sqrt{5} \sin{\left(t \right)}}{5}, 0\right\rangle$$$.

De grootte van een vector wordt gegeven door de formule $$$\mathbf{\left\lvert\vec{u}\right\rvert} = \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n} \left|{u_{i}}\right|^{2}}$$$.

De som van de kwadraten van de absolute waarden van de coördinaten is $$$\left|{- \frac{\sqrt{5} \cos{\left(t \right)}}{5}}\right|^{2} + \left|{- \frac{\sqrt{5} \sin{\left(t \right)}}{5}}\right|^{2} + \left|{0}\right|^{2} = \frac{\sin^{2}{\left(t \right)}}{5} + \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(t \right)}}{5}.$$$

Daarom is de norm van de vector $$$\mathbf{\left\lvert\vec{u}\right\rvert} = \sqrt{\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(t \right)}}{5} + \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(t \right)}}{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}$$$.

De grootte is $$$\frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}\approx 0.447213595499958$$$A.
