Find the value of λ such that the vectors →a=2^i+λ^j+^k and →b=^i+2^j+3^k are orthogonal.
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 32
(d) −52
Since, two non-zero vectors →a and →b are orthogonal i.e., →a.→b=0
∴ (2^i+λ^j+^k).(^i+2^j+3^k)=0⇒ 2+2λ+3=0∴ λ=−52
For what value of λ, the vectors →a=2^i+λ^j+^k and →b=^i+2^j+3^k are orthogonal.
Find the value of λ which will make the vectors →a,→b and →c coplanar, where →a=2^i−^j+^k,→b=^i+2^j−3^k and →c=3^i−λ^j+5^k .
