Question

The sum and difference of two vectors A and B are A+B=2^i+6^j+^k;AB=4^i+2^j11^k. Find the magnitude of each vector and their scalar product A.B

Open in App
Solution

A+B = 2^i+6^j+^k ...(i)
AB = 4^i+2^j11^k ...(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii) :
2A = 6^i+8^j10^k
A = 3^i+4^j5^k
Subtracting (ii) from (i)
2B = 2^i+4^j+12^k
B = ^i+2^j+6^k
Therefore, A = 52
B = 41
A.B = 3+830
= 25
