If vec(beta) is perpendicular to both vec(alpha) and vec(lambda) where vec(alpha)=hat(k) and vec(lambda)=2hat(i)+3 hat(j)+4 hat(k), then what is vec(beta) equal to ?

Answer»

`3HAT(i)+2hat(J)`
`-3hat(i)+2hat(j)`
`2hat(i)-3hat(j)`
`-2hat(i)+3hat(j)`

Solution :Let `VEC(beta)=a hat(i)+b hat(j)+c hat(k)`
Since `vec(beta).vec( ALPHA)=0 and vec(beta).vec(lambda)=0`
`:. C=0 and 2a + 3b=0 rArr a = - (3b)/(2)`
Hence, `vec(beta)=-(3 b)/(2) vec(i)+b hat(j)=0 rArr -3 hat(i)+2 hat(j)=0`
