Vedclass · Answer

(D) Given that $a, b, c$ are coplanar,their scalar triple product must be zero: $[a, b, c] = 0$.This implies the determinant of the components is zero:$\begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \ 4 & 3 & 4 \ 1 & \alpha & \beta \end{vmatrix} = 0$Expanding along the first row:$1(3\beta - 4\alpha) - 1(4\beta - 4) + 1(4\alpha - 3) = 0$$3\beta - 4\alpha - 4\beta + 4 + 4\alpha - 3 = 0$$-\beta + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow \beta = 1$.Given $|c| = \sqrt{3}$,we have $|c|^2 = 3$:$1^2 + \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = 3$$1 + \alpha^2 + 1 = 3$$\alpha^2 = 1 \Rightarrow \alpha = \pm 1$.Thus,$\alpha = \pm 1$ and $\beta = 1$.

If $a = i + j + k$,$b = 4i + 3j + 4k$,and $c = i + \alpha j + \beta k$ are coplanar vectors and $|c| = \sqrt{3}$,then:
