Find the volume of the parallelepiped whose coterminous edges are represented by the vectors
`vec(a)=2hat(i)-3hat(j)+hat(k),vec(b)=hat(i)-hat(j)+2hat(k)` and `vec(c)=2hat(i)+hat(j)-hat(k)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`[vec(a)vec(b)vec(c)]=|(2,-3,1),(1, -1,2),(2,1,-1)|=|(0,-1,-3),(1,-1,2),(0,3,-5)|" "[R_(1)rarrR_(1)-2R_(2),andR_(3)rarrR_(3)-2R_(2)]`
`=(-1).(5+9)=-14`.
`:.` volume of the parallelepiped
`=|[vec(a)vec(b)vec(c)]|=|-14|=14` cubic units.
`[vec(a)vec(b)vec(c)]=|(2,-3,1),(1, -1,2),(2,1,-1)|=|(0,-1,-3),(1,-1,2),(0,3,-5)|" "[R_(1)rarrR_(1)-2R_(2),andR_(3)rarrR_(3)-2R_(2)]`
`=(-1).(5+9)=-14`.
`:.` volume of the parallelepiped
`=|[vec(a)vec(b)vec(c)]|=|-14|=14` cubic units.
