Find a unit vector perpendicular to A = (î+ ĵ – Îk) and B = ( 2i + j- 3k). (Hints. One method to find the unit vector C perpendicular to A and B will be to use the fact that the cross product is perpendicular to both vectors A and B, but keep in mind that the magnitude of the unit vector is one. There is another method which is a little bit longer by using the fact that the dot product AC=0 and BC=0 where C is the unit vector )
