The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions about the vectors \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} \). ### Step 1: Understand the conditions We know that: 1. \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) is collinear with \( \vec{c} \). 2. \( \vec{b} + \vec{c} \) is collinear with \( \vec{a} \). ### Step 2: Express the collinearity conditions From the first condition, we can express it mathematically as: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = k_1 \vec{c} \quad \text{(1)} \] for some scalar \( k_1 \). From the second condition, we can express it as: \[ \vec{b} + \vec{c} = k_2 \vec{a} \quad \text{(2)} \] for some scalar \( k_2 \). ### Step 3: Rearranging the equations From equation (1), we can rearrange it to find \( \vec{b} \): \[ \vec{b} = k_1 \vec{c} - \vec{a} \quad \text{(3)} \] From equation (2), we can rearrange it to find \( \vec{c} \): \[ \vec{c} = k_2 \vec{a} - \vec{b} \quad \text{(4)} \] ### Step 4: Substitute equation (3) into equation (4) Substituting equation (3) into equation (4): \[ \vec{c} = k_2 \vec{a} - (k_1 \vec{c} - \vec{a}) \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{c} + k_1 \vec{c} = k_2 \vec{a} + \vec{a} \] \[ (1 + k_1) \vec{c} = (k_2 + 1) \vec{a} \] ### Step 5: Analyze the equation Since \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{c} \) are not collinear (given in the problem), the coefficients must equal zero: \[ 1 + k_1 = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad k_2 + 1 = 0 \] Thus, we find: \[ k_1 = -1 \quad \text{and} \quad k_2 = -1 \] ### Step 6: Substitute back to find relationships Substituting \( k_1 \) and \( k_2 \) back into equations (1) and (2): From equation (1): \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = -\vec{c} \quad \text{(5)} \] From equation (2): \[ \vec{b} + \vec{c} = -\vec{a} \quad \text{(6)} \] ### Step 7: Add equations (5) and (6) Now, we can add equations (5) and (6): \[ (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) + (\vec{b} + \vec{c}) = -\vec{c} - \vec{a} \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{a} + 2\vec{b} + \vec{c} = -\vec{c} - \vec{a} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \vec{a} + 2\vec{b} + \vec{c} + \vec{c} + \vec{a} = 0 \] \[ 2\vec{a} + 2\vec{b} + 2\vec{c} = 0 \] Dividing by 2: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0 \] ### Conclusion Thus, we conclude: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0 \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions about the vectors \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} \). ### Step 1: Understand the conditions We know that: 1. \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) is collinear with \( \vec{c} \). 2. \( \vec{b} + \vec{c} \) is collinear with \( \vec{a} \). ### Step 2: Express the collinearity conditions ...
