Question 1.
Find \(\bar{a}+\bar{b}, \bar{a}-\bar{b}\) and \(\bar{b}+\bar{c}\) using the vectors.
\(\bar{a}\) = 3i + 4j + k, \(\bar{b}\) = 2i – 7 j – 3k and \(\bar{c}\) = 2i + 3j – 9k.
Answer:
\(\bar{a}+\bar{b}\) = 3i + 4j + k + 2i – 7j – 3k = 5i – 3j – 2k
\(\bar{a}-\bar{b}\) = 3i + 4j + k – (2i – 7j -3k) = i + 11j + 4k
\(\bar{b}+\bar{c}\) = 2i – 7j -3k + 2i +3j – 9k
= 4i – 4j – 12k.

Question 2.

1. Find the vector passing through the point A( 1, 2, -3) and B(-1, -2, 1).
2. Find the direction cosines along with AB.

Answer:
1. \(\overline{A B}\) = \(\overline{O B}\) – \(\overline{O A}\) = -i – 2j + k – (i + 2j – 3k) = -2i – 4j + 4k.

2. Unit Vector

Direction cosines are \(\frac{-2}{6}\), \(\frac{-4}{6}\), \(\frac{4}{6}\).

Question 3.
Show that the points A, B and C with position vectors \(\bar{a}\) = 3i – 4j – 4k, \(\bar{b}\) = 2i – j + k and \(\bar{c}\) = i – 3j – 5k respectively from the vertices of a right angled triangle.
Answer:

41 = 35 + 6 ⇒ BC² = AB² + CA²
Hence right angled triangle.

Question 4.
Prove that \([\bar{a}+\bar{b} \bar{b}+\bar{c} \bar{c}+\bar{a}]=2[\bar{a} \bar{b} \bar{c}]\).
Answer:
LHS

Note: If \(\bar{a}\), \(\bar{b}\), \(\bar{c}\) are coplanar then so is \([\bar{a}+\bar{b} \bar{b}+\bar{c} \bar{c}+\bar{a}]\).

Question 5.
Consider the vector \(\bar{p}\) = 2i – j + k. Find two vectors \(\bar{q}\) and \(\bar{r}\) such that \(\bar{p}\), \(\bar{q}\) and \(\bar{r}\) are mutually perpendicular.
Answer:
Find a vector \(\bar{q}\) such that \(\bar{p} \cdot \bar{q}\) = 0, for this use any \(\bar{q}\) whose two components are randomly selected. Let \(\bar{q}\) = 2i + 2j + xk
\(\bar{p} \cdot \bar{q}\) = (2i – j + k) . (2i + 2 j + xk) = 0
⇒ 4 – 2 + x = 0 ⇒ x = -2

= 6j + 6k.

Question 6.

Answer:

= i(-12 + 7) – j(-9 – 2) + k(-21 – 8)
= -5i + 11j – 29k

= i(63 + 9) – j(-18 + 6) + k(6 – 14)
= 72i + 12 j – 8k.

(iii) If \(\bar{a}\) makes an angle 60° with a vector \(\bar{c}\), find the projection of \(\bar{a}\) on \(\bar{c}\) (1)
Answer:

(ii) Since projection of \(\bar{a}\) on another vector \(\bar{b}\) and magnitude of \(\bar{a}\) is \(\sqrt{14}\), then \(\bar{a}\) and \(\bar{b}\) are parallel, (b) 6i + 2j + 4k.

(iii) Projection of \(\bar{a}\) on \(\bar{c}\)
= |\(\bar{a}\)|cos60° = \(\sqrt{14}\) × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{14}}{2}\).

(ii) Find the area of a parallelogram whose adjacent sides are the vectors 2i + j + k and 6i – j (2)
Answer:

(ii) Let \(\bar{a}\) = 2i + j + k, \(\bar{b}\) = i – j

= i(0 + 1) – j(0 – 1) + k(-2 – 1 ) = i + j -3k
Area =

(a) 60°
(b) 30°
(c) 45°
(d) 90°
