The correct Answer is:
To find the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the vectors \(\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}\), \(\vec{b} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}\), and \(\vec{c} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}\), we can use the scalar triple product formula, which is given by the determinant of a matrix formed by these vectors. ### Step 1: Write the vectors in component form The vectors can be represented as: - \(\vec{a} = (1, 1, 1)\) - \(\vec{b} = (1, -1, 1)\) - \(\vec{c} = (1, 2, -1)\) ### Step 2: Set up the determinant The volume \(V\) of the parallelepiped is given by the absolute value of the determinant of the matrix formed by these vectors: \[ V = \left| \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & -1 \end{vmatrix} \right| \] ### Step 3: Calculate the determinant To calculate the determinant, we can use the formula for a \(3 \times 3\) determinant: \[ \begin{vmatrix} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{vmatrix} = a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg) \] Applying this to our matrix: \[ \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = 1((-1)(-1) - (1)(2)) - 1((1)(-1) - (1)(1)) + 1((1)(2) - (1)(1)) \] Calculating each term: 1. First term: \(1(1 - 2) = 1(-1) = -1\) 2. Second term: \(-1(-1 - 1) = -1(-2) = 2\) 3. Third term: \(1(2 - 1) = 1(1) = 1\) Now, combining these results: \[ -1 + 2 + 1 = 2 \] ### Step 4: Take the absolute value The volume of the parallelepiped is: \[ V = |2| = 2 \] ### Final Answer The volume of the parallelepiped is \(2\) cubic units. ---
