To find the value of \( \lambda \) such that the vectors \( \vec{a} = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} \), \( \vec{b} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k} \), and \( \vec{c} = 3\hat{i} + \lambda\hat{j} + 5\hat{k} \) are coplanar, we can use the condition that the scalar triple product of the vectors must be zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set up the Scalar Triple Product**: The vectors are coplanar if the scalar triple product \( \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) = 0 \). We can express this as a determinant: \[ \begin{vmatrix} ...
