  1. A 40
  2. B \(\sqrt{35}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{17}\)
  4. D \(2 \sqrt{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \sqrt{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{x} = 6 \frac{(2,-2,1)}{\sqrt{2^2+(-2)^2+1^2}} = 6 \frac{(2,-2,1)}{3} = (4,-4,2)\) \(\vec{y} = \sqrt{3} \frac{(1,1,-1)}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2+(-1)^2}} = \sqrt{3} \frac{(1,1,-1)}{\sqrt{3}} = (1,1,-1)\)
