To find the direction cosines of the unit vector perpendicular to the plane given by the equation \( \mathbf{r} \cdot (6 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}) + 1 = 0 \) and passing through the origin, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the normal vector of the plane The equation of the plane can be rewritten in the form \( \mathbf{r} \cdot \mathbf{n} + d = 0 \), where \( \mathbf{n} \) is the normal vector to the plane. From the equation \( \mathbf{r} \cdot (6 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}) + 1 = 0 \), we can identify the normal vector \( \mathbf{n} = 6 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k} \). ### Step 2: Calculate the magnitude of the normal vector To find the unit vector, we first need to calculate the magnitude of the normal vector \( \mathbf{n} \): \[ ...
