Determine the unit vector perpendicular to a=3i−j+2k\mathbf{a}=3\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}+2\mathbf{k} and b=−i+4j−k\mathbf{b}=-\mathbf{i}+4\mathbf{j}-\mathbf{k} that has a positive zz-component. (a) 1171 (7i−j−11k)\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{171}}\,( 7\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}-11\mathbf{k} ) (b) 1171 (−7i−j+11k)\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{171}}\,( -7\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}+11\mathbf{k} ) (c) 1171 (−7i+j+11k)\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{171}}\,( -7\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+11\mathbf{k} ) (d) 1171 (−7i+j+11k)\dfrac{1}{171}\,( -7\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+11\mathbf{k} )
