Answer

Along direction of $v$: $\frac{1}{5\sqrt{2}}(4\mathbf{i}-5\mathbf{j}+3\mathbf{k})$ Opposite direction of $v$: $-\frac{1}{5\sqrt{2}}(4\mathbf{i}-5\mathbf{j}+3\mathbf{k})$

Work Step by Step

$\mathbf{v}=4\mathbf{i}-5\mathbf{j}+3\mathbf{k}$ $\|\mathbf{v}\|=\sqrt{16+25+9}=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}$ Unit vector in the direction of $\mathbf{v}$: $\frac{1}{5\sqrt{2}}(4\mathbf{i}-5\mathbf{j}+3\mathbf{k})$ Unit vector in the opposite direction of $\mathbf{v}$: $-\frac{1}{5\sqrt{2}}(4\mathbf{i}-5\mathbf{j}+3\mathbf{k})$
