The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the position vector of point X given that the position vectors of points A, B, and C are represented by the unit vectors \( \hat{i} \), \( \hat{j} \), and \( \hat{k} \) respectively, and that \( \overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{CX} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Position Vectors**: - The position vector of point A, \( \overrightarrow{A} = \hat{i} \) - The position vector of point B, \( \overrightarrow{B} = \hat{j} \) - The position vector of point C, \( \overrightarrow{C} = \hat{k} \) 2. **Write the Vector Equation**: - According to the problem, we have \( \overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{CX} \). - The vector \( \overrightarrow{AB} \) can be expressed as: \[ \overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{B} - \overrightarrow{A} = \hat{j} - \hat{i} \] - The vector \( \overrightarrow{CX} \) can be expressed as: \[ \overrightarrow{CX} = \overrightarrow{X} - \overrightarrow{C} = \overrightarrow{X} - \hat{k} \] 3. **Set the Two Vectors Equal**: - From the equation \( \overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{CX} \), we have: \[ \hat{j} - \hat{i} = \overrightarrow{X} - \hat{k} \] 4. **Rearranging the Equation**: - To find \( \overrightarrow{X} \), we rearrange the equation: \[ \overrightarrow{X} = (\hat{j} - \hat{i}) + \hat{k} \] 5. **Combine the Vectors**: - Now, combine the vectors: \[ \overrightarrow{X} = \hat{j} + \hat{k} - \hat{i} \] - This can be rearranged as: \[ \overrightarrow{X} = -\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} \] 6. **Final Result**: - Therefore, the position vector of point X is: \[ \overrightarrow{X} = -\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} \]
