Find a vector of magnitude 6,which is perpendicular to both the vectors 2i^-j^+2k^ and 4i^-j^+3k^.Pls provide me detailed solution as my ans is not matching with the given ans.

Let a = 2i^ - j^ + 2k^  and  b = 4i^ - j^ + 3k^A unit vector  to both a and b = a × ba × bNow,a × b = i^j^k^2-124-13 = i^-3+2-j^6-8+k^-2+4 = -i^ + 2j^ + 2k^a × b = -12+22+22 = 9 = 3So, A unit vector  to both a and b = a × ba × b= -i^ + 2j^ + 2k^3Now, required vector of magnitude 6 =  6-i^ + 2j^ + 2k^3 = 2-i^ + 2j^ + 2k^ = -2i^ + 4j^ + 4k^
