2. The vector u has magnitude twice that of the vector 2i +j -3k. Given that u is
parallel to the vector 6i - 12j + 4k. Find u .
3. Find a unit vector which is perpendicular to each of the vectors i + 2j + 3k and
4i-j + 2k.
4. The vectors
AB
and
AC
are i - j + 3k and 3i + 2j + k respectively.
(a) Find the length of the vectors,
(b) Find the scalar product of the two vectors,
(c) Use your results in part (b), to calculate the acute angle between the
vectors, giving your answer correct to 1 decimal place.

5. (a) Factorize the following polynomials:
