 We can consider one example in the two-dimensional real vector space $\mathbb{R}$, namely the $(x,y)$ coordinate plane, shown below.

 We see how the same vector $\vec{v}$ can be expressed in two different bases. In the first one (left panel), the Cartesian basis, its components are $\vec{v}=(2,2)$. But in the second basis (right panel), the components are different, being instead $\vec{v}=(2.4 ,0.8)$,
 though the magnitude and direction of the vector itself remain unchanged.
