The vector `hat(i)+xhat(j)+3hat(k)` is rotated through an angle `theta` and doubled in magnitude then it becomes `4hat(i)+(4x-2)hat(j)+2hat(k)`. The value of x isA. `{-(2)/(3),2}`B. `((1)/(3),2)`C. `{(2)/(3),0}`D. `{2,7}` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A Since, the vector `hati+xhatj+3hatk`k is doubled in magnitude, then it becomes `4hati+(4x-2)hatj+2hatk` `therefore 2|hati+xhatj+3hatk|=4hati+(4x-2)hatj+2hatk|` `implies 2sqrt(2+x^(2)+9)=sqrt(16+(4x-2)^(2)+4)` `implies 40+4x^(2)=20+(4x-2)^(2)` `implies 3x^(2)-4x-4=0` `implies (x-2)(3x+2)=0` `implies x=2,-(2)/(3)`. |
