Answers (1)

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

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

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

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

\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}|=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(-3)^{2}+(6)^{2}} \\ &=\sqrt{4+9+36} \\ &=\sqrt{49} \\ &=7 \\ \end{aligned}

Unit vector,

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