Question

If $^a,^b$ and $^c$ are mutually perpendicular unit vectors, then find the value of $| 2^a +^b +^c |$ .

Open in App

Solution

$| 2^a +^b +^c |$ represents the distance between the points $(0, 0, 0)$ and $(2, 1, 1)$ in the $(^a,^b,^c)$ space.
Thus, by distance formula, we have
$| 2^a +^b +^c | = \sqrt{2^{2} + 1^{2} + 1^{2}} = \sqrt{6} .$
