`(-3/2,3cxxb)`

C

`(-3/2, 3axxb)`

D

`(3/2,3bxxc)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ordered pair \((\lambda, d)\) given the conditions on the unit vectors \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) such that \(a + b + c = 0\). ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Condition**: We have three unit vectors \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) such that: \[ a + b + c = 0 \] This implies that: \[ c = - (a + b) \] 2. **Finding \(\lambda\)**: We know that: \[ \lambda = a \cdot b + b \cdot c + c \cdot a \] Substituting \(c = - (a + b)\) into the expression for \(\lambda\): \[ \lambda = a \cdot b + b \cdot (- (a + b)) + (- (a + b)) \cdot a \] Simplifying this: \[ \lambda = a \cdot b - b \cdot a - b \cdot b - a \cdot a - a \cdot b \] Since \(b \cdot b = 1\) and \(a \cdot a = 1\) (because they are unit vectors): \[ \lambda = a \cdot b - 1 - 1 - a \cdot b = -2 \] 3. **Finding \(d\)**: We have: \[ d = a \times b + b \times c + c \times a \] Again substituting \(c = - (a + b)\): \[ d = a \times b + b \times (- (a + b)) + (- (a + b)) \times a \] Simplifying this: \[ d = a \times b - b \times a - b \times b - a \times a \] Since \(b \times b = 0\) and \(a \times a = 0\): \[ d = a \times b - b \times a = a \times b + a \times b = 2(a \times b) \] 4. **Final Values**: We have found: \[ \lambda = -1 \] \[ d = 2(a \times b) \] Thus, the ordered pair \((\lambda, d)\) is: \[ (-1, 2(a \times b)) \] ### Conclusion The ordered pair \((\lambda, d)\) is: \[ \left(-1, 2(a \times b)\right) \]
