If `2hati-3hatj+4hatk` and `3hati+lambdahatj+muhatk` be collinear vectors, them find the values of `lambda` and `mu`. |
Answer» Let `hatalpha=2hati-3hatj+4hatk` and `hatb=3hati+lambdahatj+muhatk` Given `hata & hatb` are collinear `thereforehataxxhatb=0:{:|(hati,hatj,hatk),(2,-3,4),(3,lambda,mu):|=0` `(-3mu-4lambda)hati-(2mu-12)hatj+(2lambda+9)hatk=0` Equating the coefficient of `hati,hatj` and `hatk` on both side we have `2mu-12=0 therefore mu=6` `2lambda+9=0rArr lambda=-(9)/(2)` |
