The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the expression \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}' + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b}' + \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c}' \) given that \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} \) and \( \vec{a}', \vec{b}', \vec{c}' \) form a reciprocal system of vectors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reciprocal Vectors**: In a reciprocal system of vectors, each vector can be expressed in terms of the cross products of the other two vectors. Specifically: \[ \vec{a}' = \frac{\vec{b} \times \vec{c}}{V}, \quad \vec{b}' = \frac{\vec{c} \times \vec{a}}{V}, \quad \vec{c}' = \frac{\vec{a} \times \vec{b}}{V} \] where \( V = \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \) is the scalar triple product. 2. **Substituting the Expressions**: Substitute the expressions for \( \vec{a}', \vec{b}', \vec{c}' \) into the given equation: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}' + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b}' + \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c}' = \vec{a} \cdot \left(\frac{\vec{b} \times \vec{c}}{V}\right) + \vec{b} \cdot \left(\frac{\vec{c} \times \vec{a}}{V}\right) + \vec{c} \cdot \left(\frac{\vec{a} \times \vec{b}}{V}\right) \] 3. **Using the Scalar Triple Product**: The dot product of a vector with a cross product can be expressed as a scalar triple product: \[ \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) = V, \quad \vec{b} \cdot (\vec{c} \times \vec{a}) = V, \quad \vec{c} \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) = V \] 4. **Calculating Each Term**: Therefore, we can rewrite the expression: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}' = \frac{V}{V} = 1, \quad \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b}' = \frac{V}{V} = 1, \quad \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c}' = \frac{V}{V} = 1 \] 5. **Summing the Results**: Now, we can sum these results: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}' + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b}' + \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c}' = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}' + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b}' + \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c}' \) is \( \boxed{3} \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the expression \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}' + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b}' + \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c}' \) given that \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} \) and \( \vec{a}', \vec{b}', \vec{c}' \) form a reciprocal system of vectors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reciprocal Vectors**: In a reciprocal system of vectors, each vector can be expressed in terms of the cross products of the other two vectors. Specifically: \[ \vec{a}' = \frac{\vec{b} \times \vec{c}}{V}, \quad \vec{b}' = \frac{\vec{c} \times \vec{a}}{V}, \quad \vec{c}' = \frac{\vec{a} \times \vec{b}}{V} ...
