Answers (1)

Answer: \frac{3}{7}\hat{i}-\frac{2}{7}\hat{j}+\frac{6}{7}\hat{k}

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

Given: Find unit vector in direction of \hat{a}=3\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+6\hat{k}

Solution: We have,

\hat{a}=3\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+6\hat{k}

\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}|=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(-2)^{2}+(6)^{2}} \Rightarrow \sqrt{49}=7 \\ \end{aligned}

Unit vector in direction of \hat{a}  is

\begin{aligned} &\hat{a}=\frac{\vec{a}}{|\vec{a}|}=\frac{1}{7}(3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}) \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{3}{7} \hat{i}-\frac{2}{7} \hat{j}+\frac{6}{7} \hat{k} \end{aligned}
