The unit vector in the direction of a⃗+b⃗\vec{a} + \vec{b} if a⃗=2i^−j^+2k^\vec{a} = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k} & b⃗=−i^+j^+−k^\vec{b} = -\hat{i} + \hat{j} + -\hat{k} is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

a⃗+b⃗=(2−1)i^+(−1+1)j^+(2−1)k^=i^+k^\vec{a} + \vec{b} = (2-1)\hat{i} + (-1+1)\hat{j} + (2-1)\hat{k} = \hat{i} + \hat{k}. Magnitude =2= \sqrt{2}. Unit vector =(1/2)i^+(1/2)k^= (1/\sqrt{2})\hat{i} + (1/\sqrt{2})\hat{k}.
