Answer: proved

Hint: you must know the rules of solving vectors

Given: show that the vectors

\begin{aligned} &\vec{a}=\frac{1}{7}(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}+6 \hat{k}), \quad \vec{b}=\frac{1}{7}(3 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}) \\ &\vec{c}=\frac{1}{7}(6 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k}) \end{aligned}

Solution: we Have

\begin{aligned} \vec{a}=\frac{1}{7}((2)^{2}+(3)^{2}+(6)^{2}) \\ \end{aligned}

                                                            \begin{aligned} =\frac{1}{7} \sqrt{4+9+36} \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} =\frac{1}{7} \sqrt{49} \quad \Rightarrow \frac{7}{7} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &=1 \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\vec{b}=\frac{1}{7} \sqrt{(3)^{2}+(-6)^{2}+(2)^{2}} \\\\ &=\frac{1}{7} \sqrt{9+36+4} \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{7} \sqrt{49} \\\\ &=1 \\\\ &\vec{c}=\frac{1}{7} \sqrt{(6)^{2}+(2)^{2}+(-3)^{2}} \\\\ &=\frac{1}{7} \sqrt{36+4+9} \end{aligned}

=\frac{1}{7}\Rightarrow 1

And

\begin{aligned} &\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=\frac{1}{7}(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}+6 \hat{k}) \cdot \frac{1}{7}(3 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}) \\ &=\frac{1}{49}(6-18+12) \\ &\Rightarrow 0 \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}=\frac{1}{7}(3 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}),(6 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k}) \\ &=\frac{1}{49}(18-12-6) \\ &=0 \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}=\frac{1}{7}(6 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k}) \cdot \frac{1}{7}(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}+6 \hat{k}) \\ &=\frac{1}{7}(12+6+18) \\ &\Rightarrow 0 \end{aligned}

So,\mid \vec{a}\mid =\mid \vec{b}\mid =\mid \vec{c}\mid =1

And \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}=\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}=0

Therefore, the given vectors are mutually perpendicular unit vectors.
