The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the information given about the vectors and their properties. ### Step 1: Understand the given information We have three vectors: - \( \vec{a} \) is perpendicular to \( \vec{b} \) and \( \vec{c} \) (i.e., \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0 \) and \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = 0 \)). - The magnitudes are given as \( |\vec{a}| = 1 \), \( |\vec{b}| = 2 \), \( |\vec{c}| = 1 \). - The dot product \( \vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} = 1 \). - A vector \( \vec{d} \) is coplanar with \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) and \( 2\vec{b} - \vec{c} \). - We also know \( \vec{d} \cdot \vec{a} = 1 \). ### Step 2: Set up the coplanarity condition Since \( \vec{d} \) is coplanar with \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) and \( 2\vec{b} - \vec{c} \), we can express \( \vec{d} \) as a linear combination: \[ \vec{d} = \lambda (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) + \mu (2\vec{b} - \vec{c}) \] for some scalars \( \lambda \) and \( \mu \). ### Step 3: Use the dot product condition From the condition \( \vec{d} \cdot \vec{a} = 1 \), we substitute \( \vec{d} \): \[ (\lambda (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) + \mu (2\vec{b} - \vec{c})) \cdot \vec{a} = 1 \] Expanding this gives: \[ \lambda (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}) + \lambda (\vec{b} \cdot \vec{a}) + \mu (2\vec{b} \cdot \vec{a} - \vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}) = 1 \] Since \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0 \) and \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = 0 \), this simplifies to: \[ \lambda (1) = 1 \implies \lambda = 1 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( \lambda \) back into \( \vec{d} \) Now, substituting \( \lambda = 1 \): \[ \vec{d} = \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \mu (2\vec{b} - \vec{c}) \] This can be rewritten as: \[ \vec{d} = \vec{a} + (1 + 2\mu) \vec{b} - \mu \vec{c} \] ### Step 5: Find the magnitude of \( \vec{d} \) To find the magnitude \( |\vec{d}| \), we calculate: \[ |\vec{d}|^2 = |\vec{a}|^2 + |(1 + 2\mu) \vec{b}|^2 + |-\mu \vec{c}|^2 + 2(\vec{a} \cdot (1 + 2\mu) \vec{b}) + 2(\vec{d} \cdot -\mu \vec{c}) \] Substituting the values: \[ |\vec{d}|^2 = 1 + (1 + 2\mu)^2 \cdot 4 + \mu^2 \cdot 1 \] \[ = 1 + 4(1 + 4\mu + 4\mu^2) + \mu^2 \] \[ = 1 + 4 + 16\mu + 16\mu^2 + \mu^2 = 5 + 16\mu + 17\mu^2 \] ### Step 6: Minimize \( |\vec{d}|^2 \) To find the minimum value of \( 5 + 16\mu + 17\mu^2 \), we can use the vertex formula for a quadratic \( ax^2 + bx + c \): \[ \mu = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{16}{2 \cdot 17} = -\frac{16}{34} = -\frac{8}{17} \] Substituting \( \mu \) back to find \( |\vec{d}|^2 \): \[ |\vec{d}|^2 = 5 + 16\left(-\frac{8}{17}\right) + 17\left(-\frac{8}{17}\right)^2 \] Calculating this gives: \[ = 5 - \frac{128}{17} + 17 \cdot \frac{64}{289} \] \[ = 5 - \frac{128}{17} + \frac{1088}{289} \] Finding a common denominator and simplifying will yield the minimum value. ### Final Calculation After simplifying, we find the minimum value of \( |\vec{d}| \) and take the square root to get the final answer.

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the information given about the vectors and their properties. ### Step 1: Understand the given information We have three vectors: - \( \vec{a} \) is perpendicular to \( \vec{b} \) and \( \vec{c} \) (i.e., \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0 \) and \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = 0 \)). - The magnitudes are given as \( |\vec{a}| = 1 \), \( |\vec{b}| = 2 \), \( |\vec{c}| = 1 \). - The dot product \( \vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} = 1 \). - A vector \( \vec{d} \) is coplanar with \( \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) and \( 2\vec{b} - \vec{c} \). ...
