Answers (1)

Answer: 1, 1, 1 cannot be the direction cosines of a straight line.

Given: Prove that 1, 1, 1 cannot be the direction cosines of a straight line.

Hint: Check by using l^{2}+m^{2}+n^{2}=1

Explanation: We know if l, m, n are the direction cosines of any line then l^{2}+m^{2}+n^{2}=1

But here 1^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}=3\neq 1

So 1, 1, 1 can’t be the direction cosines for any line.
