The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions regarding the vectors \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), and \(\vec{C}\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Dot Product**: We know that the dot product of two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is given by: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos(\theta) \] where \(\theta\) is the angle between the two vectors. 2. **Given Conditions**: The problem states that: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad \vec{A} \cdot \vec{C} = 0 \] This implies that the angle \(\theta\) between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(90^\circ\) (since \(\cos(90^\circ) = 0\)), meaning \(\vec{A}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{B}\). 3. **Analyzing the Second Condition**: Similarly, since \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{C} = 0\), it follows that \(\vec{A}\) is also perpendicular to \(\vec{C}\). 4. **Understanding the Relationship**: Since \(\vec{A}\) is perpendicular to both \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\), we can conclude that \(\vec{A}\) lies in a direction that is orthogonal to the plane formed by \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\). 5. **Using the Cross Product**: The vector that is perpendicular to both \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\) can be represented by the cross product: \[ \vec{A} \parallel \vec{B} \times \vec{C} \] This means that \(\vec{A}\) is parallel to the vector resulting from the cross product of \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{C}\). 6. **Final Conclusion**: Therefore, we conclude that: \[ \vec{A} \text{ is parallel to } \vec{B} \times \vec{C} \] ### Answer: \(\vec{A}\) is parallel to \(\vec{B} \times \vec{C}\).
