-(2\(\hat{i}\) + 2\(\hat{j}\)+ 3\(\hat{k}\))/√17
(2\(\hat{i}\) + 2\(\hat{j}\)+ 3\(\hat{k}\))/√17
(2\(\hat{i}\) -2\(\hat{j}\)+ 3\(\hat{k}\))/√17
(2\(\hat{i}\) + 2\(\hat{j}\)- 3\(\hat{k}\))/√17
|
(2\(\hat{i}\) + 2\(\hat{j}\)+ 3\(\hat{k}\))/√17

The given points are P(1,3,5) and Q(3,5,8) \(\vec{PQ}\) = (3-1)\(\hat{i}\) + (5-3)\(\hat{j}\)+ (8-5)\(\hat{k}\) \(\vec{PQ}\) = 2\(\hat{i}\) + 2\(\hat{j}\)+ 3\(\hat{k}\) Magnitude of \(\vec{PQ}\) = |\(\vec{PQ}\)|=√{(2)2 +(2)2 + (3)2} Magnitude of \(\vec{PQ}\)= √17 Hence the unit vector in direction of \(\vec{PQ}\) = \(\vec{PQ}\)/|\(\vec{PQ}\)| = (2\(\hat{i}\) + 2\(\hat{j}\)+ 3\(\hat{k}\))/√17
