The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the vectors Let \(\vec{x}, \vec{y}, \vec{z}\) be three vectors, each with a magnitude of \(\sqrt{2}\). The angle between each pair of vectors is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) (or 60 degrees). ### Step 2: Calculate the dot products Using the formula for the dot product: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \cos(\theta) \] where \(\theta\) is the angle between the vectors. For \(\vec{x} \cdot \vec{y}\): \[ \vec{x} \cdot \vec{y} = |\vec{x}| |\vec{y}| \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 1 \] Similarly, we can calculate: \[ \vec{y} \cdot \vec{z} = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad \vec{z} \cdot \vec{x} = 1 \] ### Step 3: Finding the vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) Given that \(\vec{a}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{y} \times \vec{z}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{z} \times \vec{x}\), we can use the properties of the cross product. ### Step 4: Calculate \(\vec{y} \times \vec{z}\) and \(\vec{z} \times \vec{x}\) Using the right-hand rule and properties of cross products: \[ \vec{y} \times \vec{z} \quad \text{and} \quad \vec{z} \times \vec{x} \] Both of these results will yield vectors that are orthogonal to the plane formed by the respective pairs of vectors. ### Step 5: Establish the relationships From the properties of the vectors and their magnitudes, we can establish that: \[ \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{y} \times \vec{z}) = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad \vec{b} \cdot (\vec{z} \times \vec{x}) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Analyzing the options Now we will check the given options to see which ones are correct based on the relationships established above. 1. **Option A**: Check if \(\vec{b} = \vec{b} \cdot \vec{z} \cdot (\vec{z} - \vec{x})\) holds true. 2. **Option B**: Check if \(\vec{a} = \vec{a} \cdot \vec{y} \cdot (\vec{y} - \vec{z})\) holds true. 3. **Option C**: Check if \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = \vec{y} - \vec{z} \cdot \vec{z} - \vec{x}\) holds true. 4. **Option D**: Check if \(\vec{a} = \vec{y} \cdot \vec{z} - \vec{y}\) holds true. ### Conclusion After checking each option based on the derived relationships, we find that options A, C, and D are correct.
