The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( x \) such that the angle between the vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) is obtuse. This means that the dot product of the two vectors must be negative. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the vectors**: \[ \vec{a} = \hat{i} + \cos x \hat{j} + \hat{k} \] \[ \vec{b} = (\sin^2 x - \sin x) \hat{i} - \cos x \hat{j} + (3 - 4\sin x) \hat{k} \] 2. **Calculate the dot product \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \)**: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (1)(\sin^2 x - \sin x) + (\cos x)(- \cos x) + (1)(3 - 4\sin x) \] Simplifying this: \[ = \sin^2 x - \sin x - \cos^2 x + 3 - 4\sin x \] Using the identity \( \cos^2 x = 1 - \sin^2 x \): \[ = \sin^2 x - \sin x - (1 - \sin^2 x) + 3 - 4\sin x \] \[ = 2\sin^2 x - 5\sin x + 2 \] 3. **Set the dot product less than zero** (since the angle is obtuse): \[ 2\sin^2 x - 5\sin x + 2 < 0 \] 4. **Let \( t = \sin x \)**, then we have: \[ 2t^2 - 5t + 2 < 0 \] 5. **Factor the quadratic**: \[ 2t^2 - 5t + 2 = (2t - 1)(t - 2) \] Thus, we need to solve: \[ (2t - 1)(t - 2) < 0 \] 6. **Find the critical points**: The critical points are \( t = \frac{1}{2} \) and \( t = 2 \). Since \( t = \sin x \) and \( \sin x \) can only take values in the range \( [0, 1] \), we only consider \( t = \frac{1}{2} \). 7. **Determine the intervals**: The intervals to test are: - \( t < \frac{1}{2} \) - \( \frac{1}{2} < t < 2 \) (but since \( t \) cannot be greater than 1, we only consider \( \frac{1}{2} < t < 1 \)) - \( t > 2 \) (not applicable) Testing the interval \( \left( \frac{1}{2}, 1 \right) \): - Choose \( t = 0.6 \): \[ (2(0.6) - 1)(0.6 - 2) = (1.2 - 1)(0.6 - 2) = (0.2)(-1.4) < 0 \] - Thus, the inequality holds for \( \frac{1}{2} < t < 1 \). 8. **Convert back to \( x \)**: Since \( t = \sin x \), we have: \[ \frac{1}{2} < \sin x < 1 \] This corresponds to: \[ x \in \left( \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right) \] ### Final Answer The exhaustive set of values of \( x \) is: \[ x \in \left( \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right) \]
