Show that the points whose position vectors are as given below are collinear: `\ 2 hat i+ hat j- hat k ,\ 3 hat i-2 hat j+ hat k\ a n d\ hat i+4 hat j-3 hat k`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have to show that the points are collinear so

Let the points be :

`vec A=2 hat i+ hat j- hat k`

`vec B= 3 hat i-2 hat j+ hat k`

`vec C=hat i+4 hat j-3 hat k`

Now we have to show that these points are collinear it is possible only if
`|vec(AB)|+|vec(BC)|=|vec(AC)|`

Now,
