Question

Find a unit vector in the direction of the vector $\vec{\text{a}}=3\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}$.

✓

Answer

Given: $\vec{\text{a}}=3\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}$ Then, $|\vec{\text{a}}|=\sqrt{3^2+(-2)^2+6^2}$ $=\sqrt{9+4+36}$ $=\sqrt{49}$ $=7$ $\therefore$ Unit vector $=\frac{\vec{\text{a}}}{|\vec{\text{a}}|}=\frac{3\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}}7$$=\frac{3}7\hat{\text{i}}-\frac{2}7\hat{\text{j}}+\frac{6}7\hat{\text{k}}$
