Let `vec(a),vec(b),vec( c )` be three non-coplanar vectors.
If `(x+2y+z)(vec(b)xx vec( c ))+(x-y)(vec( c )xx vec(a))+(x+y+2)(vec(a)xx vec(b))=vec(0)` for some `x, y, z in R`, then `x^(2)-y^(2)+z^(2)` is equal to _____________

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the equation given in the question: \[ (x + 2y + z)(\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) + (x - y)(\vec{c} \times \vec{a}) + (x + y + 2)(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) = \vec{0} \] Since \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}\) are non-coplanar vectors, the only way for this equation to hold true is if the coefficients of each vector product are equal to zero. This gives us three equations to solve: 1. \(x + 2y + z = 0\) (Equation 1) 2. \(x - y = 0\) (Equation 2) 3. \(x + y + 2 = 0\) (Equation 3) ### Step 1: Solve Equation 2 for \(y\) From Equation 2: \[ x - y = 0 \implies y = x \] ### Step 2: Substitute \(y\) into Equation 3 Now substitute \(y = x\) into Equation 3: \[ x + x + 2 = 0 \implies 2x + 2 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \(x\) Rearranging gives: \[ 2x = -2 \implies x = -1 \] ### Step 4: Find \(y\) using \(x\) Using the value of \(x\) in Equation 2: \[ y = x = -1 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \(x\) and \(y\) into Equation 1 to find \(z\) Now substitute \(x\) and \(y\) into Equation 1: \[ -1 + 2(-1) + z = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -1 - 2 + z = 0 \implies z - 3 = 0 \implies z = 3 \] ### Step 6: Calculate \(x^2 - y^2 + z^2\) Now we have: - \(x = -1\) - \(y = -1\) - \(z = 3\) We need to find \(x^2 - y^2 + z^2\): \[ x^2 - y^2 + z^2 = (-1)^2 - (-1)^2 + (3)^2 \] Calculating each term: \[ = 1 - 1 + 9 = 0 + 9 = 9 \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{9} \]
