Answers (1)

Answer: \frac{-2}{\sqrt{30}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{30}},\frac{-5}{\sqrt{30}}

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

Given: Find direction cosines of -2\hat{i}+\hat{j}-5\hat{k}

Solution: Let \vec{a}=-2\hat{i}+\hat{j}-5\hat{k}

     Then its cosines are,

\begin{aligned} &\frac{-2}{\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(1)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(1)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}}, \frac{-5}{\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(1)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}} \\ &\frac{-2}{\sqrt{4+1+25}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{4+1+25}}, \frac{-5}{\sqrt{4+1+25}} \\ &\frac{-2}{\sqrt{30}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{30}}, \frac{-5}{\sqrt{30}} \end{aligned}
