The correct Answer is:
To determine the values of \(\lambda\) for which the vectors \(\vec{a} + 2\vec{b} + 3\vec{c}\), \(\lambda \vec{b} + 4\vec{c}\), and \((2\lambda - 1)\vec{c}\) are non-coplanar, we need to check the condition for non-coplanarity, which is that the determinant of the coefficients of these vectors should be non-zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coefficients**: The vectors can be expressed as: - First vector: \(\vec{v_1} = \vec{a} + 2\vec{b} + 3\vec{c}\) has coefficients \( (1, 2, 3) \). - Second vector: \(\vec{v_2} = \lambda \vec{b} + 4\vec{c}\) has coefficients \( (0, \lambda, 4) \). - Third vector: \(\vec{v_3} = (2\lambda - 1)\vec{c}\) has coefficients \( (0, 0, 2\lambda - 1) \). 2. **Set Up the Determinant**: The determinant of the matrix formed by these coefficients is given by: \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 0 & \lambda & 4 \\ 0 & 0 & 2\lambda - 1 \end{vmatrix} \] 3. **Calculate the Determinant**: Since the first column has zeros in the second and third rows, we can expand the determinant along the first column: \[ D = 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} \lambda & 4 \\ 0 & 2\lambda - 1 \end{vmatrix} \] The determinant of the 2x2 matrix is: \[ D = 1 \cdot (\lambda(2\lambda - 1) - 0) = \lambda(2\lambda - 1) \] 4. **Set the Determinant Non-Zero**: For the vectors to be non-coplanar, we require: \[ D \neq 0 \implies \lambda(2\lambda - 1) \neq 0 \] This implies: - \(\lambda \neq 0\) - \(2\lambda - 1 \neq 0 \implies \lambda \neq \frac{1}{2}\) 5. **Conclusion**: The vectors \(\vec{a} + 2\vec{b} + 3\vec{c}\), \(\lambda \vec{b} + 4\vec{c}\), and \((2\lambda - 1)\vec{c}\) are non-coplanar for all values of \(\lambda\) except \(\lambda = 0\) and \(\lambda = \frac{1}{2}\). ### Final Answer: The vectors are non-coplanar for: \[ \lambda \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0, \frac{1}{2}\} \]
