Answer: 4\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+4\hat{k}

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

Given: Find a vector in direction of \vec{a}=2\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k}, which has magnitude 6 units

Solution:\vec{a}=2\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k}

\begin{aligned} & \begin{aligned} |\vec{a}|=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(-1)^{2}+(2)^{2}}=\sqrt{4+1+4} \\ \end{aligned} \end{aligned}

                                                       \begin{aligned} & \begin{aligned} &=\sqrt{9} \\ &=3 \\ \end{aligned} \end{aligned}

Vector in direction of 

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

\begin{aligned} & \begin{aligned} =& 2(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}) \\ =& 4 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k} \end{aligned} \end{aligned}
