Question:medium

The direction ratios of the line bisecting the angle between the x-axis and the line having direction ratios (3, -1, 5) are

Show Hint

The vectors representing the directions of the angle bisectors between two vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ are given by $\hat{a} \pm \hat{b}$, where $\hat{a}$ and $\hat{b}$ are the unit vectors. One gives the internal bisector, the other gives the external bisector.

  • $\frac{3}{\sqrt{7}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{7}}, \frac{5}{\sqrt{7}}$
  • $3+\sqrt{35}, -1, 5$
  • $\sqrt{35}-3, 1, -\sqrt{5}$ (The image is garbled, assuming it should be $\sqrt{35}-3, 1, -5$)
  • $\sqrt{35}-3, 1, 5$
