If a ,\ b ,\ c are non zero non coplanar...

If `a ,\ b ,\ c` are non zero non coplanar vectors, prove that the following vectors are coplanar. `5 vec a+6 vec b+7 vec c ,\ 7 vec a-8 vec b+9 vec c\ a n d\ 3 vec a+20 vec b+5 vec c`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let us take:

`vec P=5 vec a+6 vec b+7 vec c `

`vec Q=7 vec a-8 vec b+9 vec c`

`vec R= 3 vec a+20 vec b+5 vec c`

As we have to show them as coplanar so there must be a relation like this
`vec R= alpha vec P+ beta vec Q`

Therefore,

`3 vec a+20 vec b+5 vec c=alpha(5 vec a+6 vec b+7 vec c)+ beta (7 vec a-8 vec b+9 vec c)`
