Part a

Comparing the
\vec{i} components,
(p+14)/2=9 \implies \boxed{p=4}

Comparing the
\vec{j} components,
(8+q)/2=40 \implies \boxed{q=72}

Part B


\overrightarrow{OM}=9\vec{i}+40\vec{j} \implies \left|\overrightarrow{OM}\right|=√(9^2 +40^2)=41\\\\
Dividing each of the components of
\overrightarrow{OM} by this magnitude, the unit vector is
\boxed{(9)/(41)\vec{i}+(40)/(41)\vec{j}}.
