Find the unit vector in the direction of the sum of vectors a = 2î + 2ĵ − 5k̂ and b = 2î + ĵ + 3k̂.
Find the unit vector in the direction of the sum of vectors a = 2î + 2ĵ − 5k̂ and b = 2î + ĵ + 3k̂.
- A. (4î + 3ĵ − 2k̂)/√29
- B. (4î + 3ĵ − 2k̂)/√25
- C. (î + ĵ − k̂)/√3
- D. (4î + 3ĵ + 2k̂)/√29
Answer: A) (4î + 3ĵ − 2k̂)/√29
Explanation: Sum c = a + b = (2+2)î + (2+1)ĵ + (−5+3)k̂ = 4î + 3ĵ − 2k̂. Magnitude |c| = √(16 + 9 + 4) = √29. Unit vector is (4î + 3ĵ − 2k̂)/√29.
