If the position vectors of A and B respectively `hati+3hatj-7hatk and 5 hati-2hatj+4hatk`, then find `vec(AB)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let O be the origin, then we have
`OA=hati+3hatj-7hatk`
and `OB=5hati-2hatj+4hatk`
Now, `AB=OB-OA=(5hati-2hatj+4hatk)-(hati+3hatj-7hatk)`
`=4hati-5hatj+11hatk`
