The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given expression and determine which condition is always true based on the provided equation. Given: \[ ((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times (\vec{c} \times \vec{d})) \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{d}) = 0 \] ### Step 1: Understand the expression The expression involves cross products and a dot product. The equation states that the result of the left-hand side is equal to zero. This indicates that the vectors involved are somehow related in terms of their orientation in space. ### Step 2: Apply the vector triple product identity We can use the vector triple product identity: \[ \vec{x} \times (\vec{y} \times \vec{z}) = (\vec{x} \cdot \vec{z}) \vec{y} - (\vec{x} \cdot \vec{y}) \vec{z} \] Let \(\vec{x} = \vec{a} \times \vec{b}\), \(\vec{y} = \vec{c}\), and \(\vec{z} = \vec{d}\). Thus, we can rewrite: \[ (\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times (\vec{c} \times \vec{d}) = ((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{d}) \vec{c} - ((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{c}) \vec{d} \] ### Step 3: Substitute back into the equation Substituting this back into the original equation gives: \[ (((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{d}) \vec{c} - ((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{c}) \vec{d}) \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{d}) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Expand the dot product Now, we can expand the dot product: \[ ((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{d}) (\vec{c} \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{d})) - ((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{c}) (\vec{d} \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{d})) = 0 \] ### Step 5: Analyze the implications For the above expression to equal zero, either: 1. \((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{d} = 0\) or 2. \((\vec{c} \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{d}))\) must equal the ratio of the other term. ### Step 6: Conclusion The condition \((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{d} = 0\) implies that \(\vec{d}\) lies in the plane formed by \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\). Similarly, the other terms imply relationships between \(\vec{c}\) and the plane formed by \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{d}\). Thus, we conclude that: - The vectors \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) must lie in the plane formed by \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{d}\). ### Final Answer The correct option that is always true is: - **Option 3**: \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) must lie in the plane of \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{d}\).
