Misc 12 Let š ā = š Ģ + 4š Ģ + 2š Ģ, š ā = 3š Ģ ā 2š Ģ + 7š Ģ and š ā = 2š Ģ ā š Ģ + 4š Ģ . Find a vector š ā which is perpendicular to both š ā and š ā and š ā ā š ā = 15 . Given š ā = š Ģ + 4š Ģ + 2š Ģ š ā = 3š Ģ - 2š Ģ + 7š Ģ š ā = 2š Ģ + š Ģ + 4š Ģ Let š ā = xš Ģ + yš Ģ + zš Ģ Since š ā is perpendicular to š ā and š ā š ā . š ā = 0 & š ā . š ā = 0 š ā . š ā = 0 (xš Ģ + yš Ģ + zš Ģ). (1š Ģ + 4š Ģ + 2š Ģ) = 0 (x Ć 1) + (y Ć 4) + (z Ć 2) = 0 x + 4y + 2z = 0 š ā . š ā = 0 (xš Ģ + yš Ģ + zš Ģ). (3š Ģ ā 2š Ģ + 7š Ģ) = 0 (x Ć 3) + (y Ć -2) + (z Ć 7) = 0 3x ā 2y + 7z = 0 Also, š ā . š ā = 15 (2š Ģ ā 1š Ģ + 4š Ģ). (xš Ģ + yš Ģ + zš Ģ) = 15 (2 Ć x) + (ā1 Ć y) + (4 Ć 2) = 15 2x ā y + 4z = 15 Now, we need to solve equations x + 4y + 2z = 0 3x ā 2y + 7z = 0 & 2x ā y + 4z = 15 Solving x + 4y + 2z = 0 3x ā 2y + 7z = 0 š„/(28 ā (ā4) ) = š¦/(6 ā 7 ) = š§/(ā2 ā 12 ) š/(šš ) = š/(āš ) = š/(āšš ) Writing x & y in terms of z ā“ x = 32š§/(ā14) = (āššš)/š & y = (ā1š§)/(ā14) = š/šš Putting values of x and y in (3) 2x ā y + 4z = 15 2 ((ā16š§)/7 ) ā (š§/14 ) + 4z = 5 (ā32)/7 z ā 1/14 z + 4/1 z = 15 ((ā64 ā 1 + 56))/14 z = 15 (ā9)/14 z = 15 z = 15 Ć 14/(ā9) z = (āšš)/š Putting value of z in x & y, x = (ā16š§)/7 = (ā16)/7 Ć (ā70)/3 = ššš/š y = š§/14 = 1/14 Ć (ā70)/3 = (āš)/š Therefore, the required vector š ā = xš Ģ + yš Ģ + zš Ģ = 160/3 š Ģ ā 5/3 š Ģ ā 70/3 š Ģ = š/š (160š Ģ ā 5š Ģ ā 70š Ģ) Note: Answer given in the book is incorrect If we have made any mistake, please email at [email protected]
