To find the value of λ such that the vectors \(\vec{A} = 2\hat{i} + \lambda \hat{j} + \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{B} = 4\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}\) are perpendicular, we can use the property of the dot product. Two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product is zero. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write the Dot Product Formula**: The dot product of two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is given by: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = A_x B_x + A_y B_y + A_z B_z ...
