The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the expression for the vector \(\vec{c}\) when the non-zero vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are equally inclined to the coplanar vector \(\vec{c}\). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition of Equal Inclination**: - Two vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are said to be equally inclined to a vector \(\vec{c}\) if the angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{c}\) is equal to the angle between \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\). This can be mathematically expressed using the dot product. 2. **Using the Dot Product**: - The condition for equal inclination can be expressed as: \[ \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}}{|\vec{a}| |\vec{c}|} = \frac{\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}}{|\vec{b}| |\vec{c}|} \] - This implies: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} |\vec{b}| = \vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} |\vec{a}| \] 3. **Expressing \(\vec{c}\)**: - Since \(\vec{c}\) is coplanar with \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\), we can express \(\vec{c}\) as a linear combination of \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\): \[ \vec{c} = k_1 \vec{a} + k_2 \vec{b} \] - Here, \(k_1\) and \(k_2\) are scalars. 4. **Finding the Scalars**: - To satisfy the condition of equal inclination, we can set: \[ k_1 = \frac{|\vec{b}|}{|\vec{a}| + |\vec{b}|}, \quad k_2 = \frac{|\vec{a}|}{|\vec{a}| + |\vec{b}|} \] - Therefore, we can write: \[ \vec{c} = \frac{|\vec{b}|}{|\vec{a}| + |\vec{b}|} \vec{a} + \frac{|\vec{a}|}{|\vec{a}| + |\vec{b}|} \vec{b} \] 5. **Final Expression for \(\vec{c}\)**: - Combining the above, we have: \[ \vec{c} = \frac{|\vec{b}| \vec{a} + |\vec{a}| \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}| + |\vec{b}|} \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the vector \(\vec{c}\) can be expressed as: \[ \vec{c} = \frac{|\vec{b}| \vec{a} + |\vec{a}| \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}| + |\vec{b}|} \] ---
