Find | vec x| if for a unit vector vec ...

Find `| vec x|` if for a unit vector ` vec a ,\ ( vec x- vec a)*( vec x+ vec a)=15.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,

`( vec x- vec a)*( vec x+ vec a)=15`

`vec x*vec x+ vec x*vec a-vec a*vec x-vec a*vec a=15`


Dot product is commutative

`vec a* vecb= vec b* veca`

`vec x*vec x-vec a*vec a=15`

`|vec x|^2costheta-| vec a|^2cosphi=15`

`theta=phi=0`
