Question 24 (OR 2nd Question) if 𝑎 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗ = 0 and |𝑎 ⃗ | = 3, |𝑏 ⃗ | = 5, |𝑐 ⃗ | = 7, then find the value of 𝑎 ⃗. 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗. 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗ . Given, 𝑎 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗ = 0 ⃗ So, |𝒂 ⃗" + " 𝒃 ⃗" + " 𝒄 ⃗ | = |𝟎 ⃗ | = 0 Now, |𝒂 ⃗+𝒃 ⃗+𝒄 ⃗ |2 = (𝒂 ⃗ + 𝒃 ⃗ + 𝒄 ⃗) . (𝒂 ⃗ + 𝒃 ⃗ + 𝒄 ⃗) = 𝑎 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗ + 𝑎 ⃗ . 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝒂 ⃗ . 𝒄 ⃗ + 𝒃 ⃗ . 𝒂 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗ . 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗ . 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗ . 𝑎 ⃗ + 𝒄 ⃗ . 𝒃 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗ . 𝑐 ⃗ = 𝑎 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗ + 𝑎 ⃗ . 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝒄 ⃗ . 𝒂 ⃗ + 𝒂 ⃗ . 𝒃 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗ . 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗ . 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗ . 𝑎 ⃗ + 𝒃 ⃗ . 𝒄 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗ . 𝑐 ⃗ = 𝑎 ⃗ . 𝑎 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗ . 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗ . 𝑐 ⃗ + 2𝑎 ⃗. 𝑏 ⃗ + 2𝑏 ⃗. 𝑐 ⃗ + 2𝑐 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗ = 𝒂 ⃗ . 𝒂 ⃗ + 𝒃 ⃗ . 𝒃 ⃗ + 𝒄 ⃗ . 𝒄 ⃗ + 2(𝑎 ⃗. 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗. 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗) Prop : 𝑎 ⃗ . 𝑎 ⃗ = |𝑎 ⃗ |2 = |𝒂 ⃗ |𝟐 + |𝒃 ⃗ |𝟐 + |𝒄 ⃗ |𝟐 + 2 (𝑎 ⃗. 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗. 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗ . 𝑎 ⃗) = 32 + 52 + 72 + 2(𝑎 ⃗. 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗. 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗) = 9 + 25 + 49 + 2(𝑎 ⃗. 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗. 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗) = 83 + 2 (𝑎 ⃗. 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗. 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗) ∴ |𝑎 ⃗+𝑏 ⃗+𝑐 ⃗|2 = 83 + 2 (𝑎 ⃗. 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗. 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗) Now, |𝑎 ⃗" + " 𝑏 ⃗" + " 𝑐 ⃗ | = 0 |𝑎 ⃗" + " 𝑏 ⃗" + " 𝑐 ⃗ |^2 = 0 83 + 2 (𝑎 ⃗. 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗. 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗) = 0 2(𝑎 ⃗. 𝑏 ⃗ + 𝑏 ⃗. 𝑐 ⃗ + 𝑐 ⃗. 𝑎 ⃗) = −83 (𝒂 ⃗. 𝒃 ⃗ + 𝒃 ⃗. 𝒄 ⃗ + 𝒄 ⃗. 𝒂 ⃗) = (−𝟖𝟑)/𝟐
