Question

The sum and difference of two vectors $\to A$ and $\to B$ are $\to A + \to B = 2^i + 6^j +^k; \to A - \to B = 4^i + 2^j - 11^k$ . Find the magnitude of each vector and their scalar product $\to A . \to B$

Solution

$\to A + \to B$ = $2^i + 6^j +^k$ ...(i)
$\to A - \to B$ = $4^i + 2^j - 11^k$ ...(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii) :
$2 \to A$ = $6^i + 8^j - 10^k$
$\to A$ = $3^i + 4^j - 5^k$
Subtracting (ii) from (i)
$2 \to B$ = $- 2^i + 4^j + 12^k$
$\to B$ = $-^i + 2^j + 6^k$
Therefore, $∣ ∣ \to A ∣ ∣$ = $5 \sqrt{2}$
$∣ ∣ \to B ∣ ∣$ = $\sqrt{41}$
$\to A . \to B$ = $- 3 + 8 - 30$
= $- 25$
