Question

lLet $\to a =^i +^j +^k$ , $\to b =^i$ and $\to c = c_{1}^i + c_{2}^j + c_{3}^k$ then let $c_{1} = 1$ and $c_{2} = 2$ find $c_{3}$ which makes vector $(a, b)$ and $\to c$ coplanar.

Solution

$[\to a \to b \to c] = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 1 & 1 & 1 1 & 0 & 0 c_{1} & c_{2} & c_{3} \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣$
$= c_{2} - c_{3}$
Given: $c_{1} = 1$ and $c_{2} = 2$
$\Rightarrow [\to a \to b \to c] = 2 - c_{3}$
$∴ \to a \to b \to c$ are coplanar if $[\to a \to b \to c] = 0$
$\Rightarrow 2 - c_{3} = 0$ or $c_{3} = 2$
