The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the vector \(\vec{b}\) that is collinear with the vector \(\vec{a} = (2\sqrt{2}, -1, 4)\) and has a magnitude of 10. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Collinearity**: Since \(\vec{b}\) is collinear with \(\vec{a}\), we can express \(\vec{b}\) as: \[ \vec{b} = k \vec{a} \] where \(k\) is a scalar. 2. **Expressing \(\vec{b}\)**: Substituting \(\vec{a}\) into the equation: \[ \vec{b} = k(2\sqrt{2}, -1, 4) = (2\sqrt{2}k, -k, 4k) \] 3. **Finding the Magnitude of \(\vec{b}\)**: The magnitude of \(\vec{b}\) is given as 10: \[ |\vec{b}| = \sqrt{(2\sqrt{2}k)^2 + (-k)^2 + (4k)^2} = 10 \] 4. **Calculating the Magnitude**: Squaring both sides to eliminate the square root: \[ (2\sqrt{2}k)^2 + (-k)^2 + (4k)^2 = 10^2 \] Expanding the left side: \[ 8k^2 + k^2 + 16k^2 = 100 \] Combining like terms: \[ 25k^2 = 100 \] 5. **Solving for \(k^2\)**: Dividing both sides by 25: \[ k^2 = 4 \] Taking the square root gives: \[ k = \pm 2 \] 6. **Finding \(\vec{b}\)**: Substitute \(k\) back into the expression for \(\vec{b}\): - For \(k = 2\): \[ \vec{b} = (2\sqrt{2} \cdot 2, -2, 4 \cdot 2) = (4\sqrt{2}, -2, 8) \] - For \(k = -2\): \[ \vec{b} = (2\sqrt{2} \cdot -2, -(-2), 4 \cdot -2) = (-4\sqrt{2}, 2, -8) \] ### Final Result: Thus, the vectors \(\vec{b}\) can be either: \[ \vec{b} = (4\sqrt{2}, -2, 8) \quad \text{or} \quad \vec{b} = (-4\sqrt{2}, 2, -8) \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the vector \(\vec{b}\) that is collinear with the vector \(\vec{a} = (2\sqrt{2}, -1, 4)\) and has a magnitude of 10. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Collinearity**: Since \(\vec{b}\) is collinear with \(\vec{a}\), we can express \(\vec{b}\) as: \[ \vec{b} = k \vec{a} ...
