Ex 10.2, 13 Find the direction cosines of the vector joining the points A (1, 2,−3) and B(−1,−2,1), directed from A to B. A( 1, 2 , −3) B(−1, −2, 1) 𝐴𝐵 = (−1 − 1) 𝑖 + (−2 − 2) 𝑗 + (1−(−3)) 𝑘 = –2 𝑖 – 4 𝑗 + 4 𝑘 Directions ratios are a = – 2, b = –4, & c = 4 Magnitude of 𝐴𝐵 = −22+ −42+42 𝐴𝐵 = 4+16+16 = 36 = 6 Directions cosines are 𝑎 𝐴𝐵, 𝑏 𝐴𝐵, 𝑐 𝐴𝐵 = −26, −46, 46 = −𝟏𝟑, −𝟐𝟑, 𝟐𝟑
