Math Problem Statement
Given that vector
and at point C
(1,3,4) Find (i)R vector AB ( ii) R vector AC(iii) unit vector directed from point C to A
Solution
Let's break down the given information and solve each part of the problem:
Given:
- We are given the vector and the point C (1, 3, 4), but the vector information for points A and B is missing in your message. I will assume that vectors A and B are two points in 3D space. To proceed, please confirm or provide the coordinates for points A and B.
Once we have the coordinates of A and B, we can do the following:
(i) Vector AB (R vector AB)
To find the vector AB, we will subtract the coordinates of point A from the coordinates of point B:
(ii) Vector AC (R vector AC)
To find the vector AC, we subtract the coordinates of point A from the coordinates of point C:
(iii) Unit vector directed from C to A
The unit vector is a vector with a magnitude of 1, which points in the direction from point C to point A. To calculate it:
- First find the vector CA by subtracting the coordinates of point C from point A.
- Then divide the vector by its magnitude to get the unit vector.
The magnitude of a vector is given by: where are the components of the vector.
The unit vector is:
Let me know the coordinates for points A and B so I can proceed with the calculations.
