The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the values of \( c \) such that the vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) make an obtuse angle for any \( x \) in the interval \( (0, \infty) \). ### Step 1: Write down the vectors Given: \[ \vec{a} = (c \log_2 x) \hat{i} - 6 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k} \] \[ \vec{b} = (\log_2 x) \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + (2c \log_2 x) \hat{k} \] ### Step 2: Use the dot product condition for obtuse angles The angle between two vectors is obtuse if their dot product is negative: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} < 0 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the dot product \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \) Using the formula for the dot product: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (c \log_2 x)(\log_2 x) + (-6)(2) + (3)(2c \log_2 x) \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = c (\log_2 x)^2 - 12 + 6c \log_2 x \] Combining terms, we have: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = c (\log_2 x)^2 + 6c \log_2 x - 12 \] ### Step 4: Set up the inequality We need: \[ c (\log_2 x)^2 + 6c \log_2 x - 12 < 0 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( y = \log_2 x \) Since \( x \) is in \( (0, \infty) \), \( y \) can take any real value. Thus, we rewrite the inequality: \[ c y^2 + 6c y - 12 < 0 \] ### Step 6: Analyze the quadratic inequality This is a quadratic inequality in \( y \). For the quadratic \( ay^2 + by + c < 0 \) to hold for all \( y \), the following conditions must be satisfied: 1. \( a < 0 \) (which means \( c < 0 \)) 2. The discriminant must be less than zero. ### Step 7: Calculate the discriminant The discriminant \( D \) of the quadratic \( c y^2 + 6c y - 12 \) is given by: \[ D = (6c)^2 - 4(c)(-12) = 36c^2 + 48c \] We require: \[ 36c^2 + 48c < 0 \] ### Step 8: Factor the discriminant Factoring gives: \[ 12c(3c + 4) < 0 \] This inequality holds when: 1. \( c < 0 \) and \( 3c + 4 > 0 \) (which gives \( c > -\frac{4}{3} \)) 2. \( c > 0 \) and \( 3c + 4 < 0 \) (not possible since \( c > 0 \)) ### Step 9: Combine the conditions Thus, we have: \[ -\frac{4}{3} < c < 0 \] ### Conclusion The values of \( c \) that make the angle between the vectors obtuse for any \( x \in (0, \infty) \) are: \[ c \in \left(-\frac{4}{3}, 0\right) \]

To solve the problem, we need to determine the values of \( c \) such that the vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) make an obtuse angle for any \( x \) in the interval \( (0, \infty) \). ### Step 1: Write down the vectors Given: \[ \vec{a} = (c \log_2 x) \hat{i} - 6 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k} \] \[ ...
