The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation given in the question, we need to compare the coefficients of the vectors \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) from both sides of the equation. The equation given is: \[ (2h+k)a + (3-4h+l)b + (1+h+k)c = ha + kb + lc \] ### Step 1: Compare Coefficients We can equate the coefficients of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) from both sides of the equation. 1. Coefficient of \( a \): \[ 2h + k = h \tag{1} \] 2. Coefficient of \( b \): \[ 3 - 4h + l = k \tag{2} \] 3. Coefficient of \( c \): \[ 1 + h + k = l \tag{3} \] ### Step 2: Solve the First Equation From equation (1): \[ 2h + k = h \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2h - h + k = 0 \implies h + k = 0 \implies k = -h \tag{4} \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( k \) in the Second Equation Now substitute \( k = -h \) into equation (2): \[ 3 - 4h + l = -h \] Rearranging gives: \[ 3 - 4h + l + h = 0 \implies 3 - 3h + l = 0 \implies l = 3h - 3 \tag{5} \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( k \) and \( l \) in the Third Equation Now substitute \( k = -h \) and \( l = 3h - 3 \) into equation (3): \[ 1 + h + (-h) = 3h - 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 1 = 3h - 3 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 3h = 4 \implies h = \frac{4}{3} \tag{6} \] ### Step 5: Find \( k \) and \( l \) Now that we have \( h \), we can find \( k \) and \( l \). 1. From equation (4): \[ k = -h = -\frac{4}{3} \tag{7} \] 2. From equation (5): \[ l = 3h - 3 = 3 \cdot \frac{4}{3} - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1 \tag{8} \] ### Final Values Thus, we have: \[ h = \frac{4}{3}, \quad k = -\frac{4}{3}, \quad l = 1 \] ### Summary The values of \( h \), \( k \), and \( l \) are: - \( h = \frac{4}{3} \) - \( k = -\frac{4}{3} \) - \( l = 1 \)
