If the points with position vectors `10 hat i+3 hat j ,12 hat i-5 hat j` and `a hat i+11 hat j` are collinear, find the value of `adot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The value of `a=8`.

Given: the position vectors

`A= 10 hat i+3 hat j`

`B=12 hat i-5 hat j`

`C=a hat i+11 hat j`

`vec(A B)=` Position vector of `B-` Position vector of `A`

`=(12 hat i-5 hat j)-(10 hat i +3 hat j)`

`=(12-10) hat i+(-5-3) hat j`

`rArr vec(AB)= 2 hat i-8 hat j`
