To find the value of \( x \) for which the vector \( \mathbf{A} = x \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) is a unit vector, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the condition for a unit vector A vector is considered a unit vector if its magnitude is equal to 1. Therefore, we need to set the magnitude of \( \mathbf{A} \) equal to 1. ### Step 2: Calculate the magnitude of the vector The magnitude of the vector \( \mathbf{A} = x \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
