The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the properties of dot and cross products of vectors. **Given:** 1. \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = \beta\) 2. \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \vec{c}\) **We need to find \(\vec{b}\).** ### Step 1: Use the vector triple product identity We can use the vector triple product identity, which states: \[ \vec{a} \times (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) = (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}) \vec{b} - (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) \vec{c} \] In our case, we can rewrite \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}\) as \(\vec{c}\) and apply the identity: \[ \vec{a} \times (\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) = (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) \vec{a} - (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}) \vec{b} \] ### Step 2: Substitute known values Substituting the known values into the equation: \[ \vec{a} \times \vec{c} = (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) \vec{a} - (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}) \vec{b} \] Since \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = \beta\), we substitute this into the equation: \[ \vec{a} \times \vec{c} = \beta \vec{a} - |\vec{a}|^2 \vec{b} \] ### Step 3: Rearranging the equation Rearranging the equation to isolate \(\vec{b}\): \[ |\vec{a}|^2 \vec{b} = \beta \vec{a} - \vec{a} \times \vec{c} \] Now, divide both sides by \(|\vec{a}|^2\): \[ \vec{b} = \frac{\beta \vec{a} - \vec{a} \times \vec{c}}{|\vec{a}|^2} \] ### Final Result Thus, the expression for \(\vec{b}\) is: \[ \vec{b} = \frac{\beta \vec{a} - \vec{a} \times \vec{c}}{|\vec{a}|^2} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the properties of dot and cross products of vectors. **Given:** 1. \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = \beta\) 2. \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \vec{c}\) **We need to find \(\vec{b}\).** ...
