If PS is the median of the triangle, with vertices of P(2,2), Q(6,-1) and R(7,3), then equation of the line passing through (1,-1) and parallel to PS is

Solution : Since PS is the median, so S is the mid point of triangle PQR. So, Coordinates of S = (\({7+6\over 2}, {3 – 1\over 2}\)) = (\(13\over 2\), 1) Slope of line PS = (1 – 2)/(13/2 – 2) = \(-2\over 9\) Required equation passes through (1, -1) is y + 1 = […]

Solution : We have [\(\vec{a}\) + \(\vec{b}\) \(\vec{b}\) + \(\vec{c}\) \(\vec{c}\) + \(\vec{a}\)] = {(\(\vec{a}\) + \(\vec{b}\))\(\times\)(\(\vec{b}\) + \(\vec{c}\))}.(\(\vec{c}\) + \(\vec{a}\)) = {\(\vec{a}\)\(\times\)\(\vec{b}\) + \(\vec{a}\)\(\times\)\(\vec{c}\) + \(\vec{b}\)\(\times\)\(\vec{b}\) + \(\vec{b}\)\(\times\)\(\vec{c}\)}.(\(\vec{c}\) + \(\vec{a}\))  {\(\vec{b}\)\(\times\)\(\vec{b}\) = 0} = {\(\vec{a}\)\(\times\)\(\vec{b}\) + \(\vec{a}\)\(\times\)\(\vec{c}\) + \(\vec{b}\)\(\times\)\(\vec{c}\)}.(\(\vec{c}\) + \(\vec{a}\)) = (\(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\)).\(\vec{c}\) + (\(\vec{a}\times\vec{c}\)).\(\vec{c}\) + (\(\vec{b}\times\vec{c}\)).\(\vec{c}\) + (\(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\)).\(\vec{a}\) + (\(\vec{a}\times\vec{c}\)).\(\vec{a}\) + (\(\vec{b}\times\vec{c}\)).\(\vec{a}\) =

Solution : \(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\) = \(\vec{c}\) and \(\vec{b}\times\vec{c}\) = \(\vec{a}\) \(\implies\)  \(\vec{c}\perp\vec{a}\) , \(\vec{c}\perp\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{a}\perp\vec{b}\), \(\vec{a}\perp\vec{c}\) \(\implies\)  \(\vec{a}\perp\vec{b}\), \(\vec{b}\perp\vec{c}\) and \(\vec{c}\perp\vec{a}\) \(\implies\)  \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), \(\vec{c}\) are mutually perpendicular vectors. Again, \(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\) = \(\vec{c}\) and \(\vec{b}\times\vec{c}\) = \(\vec{a}\) \(\implies\) |\(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\)| = |\(\vec{c}\)| and |\(\vec{b}\times\vec{c}\)| = |\(\vec{a}\)| \(\implies\)  \(|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|sin{\pi\over 2}\) = |\(\vec{c}\)| and \(|\vec{b}||\vec{c}|sin{\pi\over 2}\) = |\(\vec{a}\)| 

If \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), \(\vec{c}\) are three non zero vectors such that \(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\) = \(\vec{c}\) and \(\vec{b}\times\vec{c}\) = \(\vec{a}\), prove that \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), \(\vec{c}\) are mutually at right angles and |\(\vec{b}\)| = 1 and |\(\vec{c}\)| = |\(\vec{a}\)| Read More »

Solution : Unit vectors perpendicular to \(\vec{a}\) & \(\vec{b}\) = \(\pm\)\(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\over |\vec{a}\times\vec{b}|\) \(\therefore\)  \(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\) = \(\begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 2 & 1 & -3 \\ 1 & 2 & -2 \\ \end{vmatrix}\) = \(-5\hat{i} – 5\hat{j} – 5\hat{k}\) \(\therefore\) Unit Vectors = \(\pm\) \(-5\hat{i} – 5\hat{j} – 5\hat{k}\over 5\sqrt{3}\) Hence the required
