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.
