Write a unit vector in the direction of ...

Write a unit vector in the direction of ` vec (PQ)` where `P``Q` are the points `(1, 3, 0)` and `(4, 5, 6)` respectively.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, `vec P= hat i +3 hat j`

`vec Q= 4hat i +5 hat j+6hat k`

`vec (PQ)=4hat i +5 hat j+6hat k-(hat i +3 hat j)`

`vec (PQ)=3hat i +2 hat j+6hat k`

`=(vec (PQ))/(|vec (PQ)|)`

`=(3hat i +2 hat j+6hat k)/(sqrt(3^2+2^2+6^2))`

`=(3hat i +2 hat j+6hat k)/(sqrt(9+4+36))`

`=(3hat i +2 hat j+6hat k)/(sqrt(49))`
