If ` vec aa n d vec b` are two non-collinear vectors, show that points `l_1 vec a+m_1 vec b ,l_2 vec a+m_2 vec b` and `l_3 vec a+m_3 vec b` are collinear if `|l_1l_2l_3m_1m_2m_3 1 1 1|=0.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
`A=l_1​ veca+m_1 vec​b`
`B=l_2 vec​a+m_2 vec​b`
`C=l_3 vec​a+m_3 vec​b`
So,
`AB=(l1_​−l_2​)veca+(m_1​−m_2​)vecb`
