Find the vector whose length is 3 and which is perpendicular to the vector
and ![]()
Given two vectors
and![]()
We need to find vector of magnitude 3 that is perpendicular to
and
.
Recall a vector that is perpendicular to two vectors
and
is

Here, we have (a1, a2, a3) = (3, 1, –4) and (b1, b2, b3) = (6, 5, –2)

![]()
![]()
![]()
Recall the magnitude of the vector
is
![]()
Now, we find
.
![]()
![]()
![]()
Let the unit vector in the direction of
be
.
We know unit vector in the direction of a vector
is given by
.

![]()
![]()
So, a vector of magnitude 3 in the direction of
is
![]()
![]()
![]()
Thus, the vector of magnitude 3 that is perpendicular to both
and
is
.
