Take the cross product of these two vectors. This gives a vector normal to both. Now divide by it's length to get a unit vector with that property. Another is obtained by taking the negative of that one.

take the cross product of those two vectors, that gives you an orthongal vector to both of them, to make it a unit vector, divide by its norm.
the cross product of < 1, -1, 1> and <0,4,4> is: <-8,-4,4>, the unit vector therefore is:
1/√96<-8,-4,4>
the second unit vector would be the negative of the first.
-1/√96<-8,-4,4>

Take the cross product of the 2 vectors to get a vector
orthogonal to both.
I got <-8, -4, 4>. Now normalise it by dividing by its length.
This gives <-8, -4, 4>/sqrt(96).
Another unit vector can be obtained by taking
the negative of this one.

Cross product:
= [1, -1, 1] . [0, 4 , 4]
= [ -8 , -4 , 4]
= 4 [ -2, -1, 1]
Magnitude of cross product
= sq rt of { (-8)² + (-4)² + 4² }
= sq rt of 96
Therefore,
One of the unit vectors is (4/ sqrt 96) [ -2, -1 ,1]
i.e. ( [ -2, -1 ,1] / sqrt 6 )
And the other vector is the negative,
i.e. ( [ 2, 1, -1] / sqrt 6 )

X <0,4,4> = {-8,-4,4} magnitude 4?6, so unit vector is (a million/4?6) {-8,-4,4} <0,4,4> X = {8,4,-4} magnitude 4?6, so unit vector is (a million/4?6) {8,4,-4} you are going to be able to additionally use the dot product enable vector be {x, y, z}, then x - y + z = 0 4y + 4z = 0 enable any variable be a million, then you particularly can calculate x,y,z Then divide by using it somewhat is length to discover unit vector.
