Let ` vec a , vec b , vec c ,` be three non-zero vectors. If ` vec adot( vec bxx vec c)=0a n d vec ba n d vec c` are not parallel, then prove that ` vec a=lambda vec b+mu vec c ,w h e r elambda` are some scalars`dot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
`a.( vec bxx vec c)=0`
so, `veca,vecb,vec c` are coplanar
We know that condition of coplanar is ` vec a=lambda vec b+mu vec c `
Thus,if `veca,vecb,vec c` are coplanar they are linearly related
