If vec a ,\ vec b ,\ vec c are three ...

If ` vec a ,\ vec b ,\ vec c` are three vectors such that ` vec adot\ vec b= vec adot\ vec c` and ` vec a\ x\ vec b= vec a\ x\ vec c ,\ vec a\ !=0` , then show that ` vec b= vec c` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`veca.vecb=veca.vecc`

`veca.vecb−veca.vecc=0`

`veca.(vecb−vecc)=0`

`abs(veca.vecb−vecc)` `cosθ=0`

`veca=0 also cosθ=0`

`veca.vecb=veca.vecc=0`

`abs(vecb−vecc)=0`

`:.vecb=vecc`
