The correct Answer is:
To solve the vector equation \( \vec{r} \times \vec{b} = \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \), where \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) are given vectors, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the given equation We start with the equation: \[ \vec{r} \times \vec{b} = \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \] ### Step 2: Move \( \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \) to the left side Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ \vec{r} \times \vec{b} - \vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \vec{0} \] ### Step 3: Factor out \( \vec{b} \) We can factor out \( \vec{b} \) from the left side: \[ \vec{r} \times \vec{b} - \vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \vec{0} \implies (\vec{r} - \vec{a}) \times \vec{b} = \vec{0} \] ### Step 4: Analyze the cross product The equation \( (\vec{r} - \vec{a}) \times \vec{b} = \vec{0} \) implies that the vector \( \vec{r} - \vec{a} \) is parallel to \( \vec{b} \). This is because the cross product of two vectors is zero if and only if the vectors are parallel. ### Step 5: Express \( \vec{r} - \vec{a} \) in terms of \( \vec{b} \) Since \( \vec{r} - \vec{a} \) is parallel to \( \vec{b} \), we can express it as: \[ \vec{r} - \vec{a} = \lambda \vec{b} \] where \( \lambda \) is a scalar parameter. ### Step 6: Solve for \( \vec{r} \) Now, we can solve for \( \vec{r} \): \[ \vec{r} = \vec{a} + \lambda \vec{b} \] ### Final Solution Thus, the solution of the vector equation \( \vec{r} \times \vec{b} = \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \) is: \[ \vec{r} = \vec{a} + \lambda \vec{b} \] ---
