Step 1
1 of 2

Part D:

Multiply the scalar length by the unit vector direction to find the actual vector.

a(12i+13j16k)=a2i+a3ja6ka\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\mathbf i+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\mathbf j -\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\mathbf k\right) =\dfrac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\mathbf i+\dfrac{a}{\sqrt{3}}\mathbf j -\dfrac{a}{\sqrt{6}}\mathbf k
