If veca and vecb are two unit vectors pe...

If `veca and vecb` are two unit vectors perpenicualar to each other and `vecc= lambda_(1)veca+ lambda_2 vecb+ lambda_(3)(vecaxx vecb),` then which of the following is (are) true ?

A

`lambda_(1)= veca.vecc`

B

`lambda_(2)= |vecb xx vecc|`

C

`lambda_(3)= |(vecaxx vecb|xxvecc|`

D

`vecc =lambda_(1)veca + lambda_(2) vecb + lambda_(3) (vecaxxvecb)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a,d

Given `vecc= lambda_(1)veca+lambda_(2)vecb + lambda_(3)(vecaxxvecb)`
`and veca. vecc= lambda_(1),vecc.vecb=lambda_(2)`
` and vecc. (veca xx vecb) |veca xx vecb|^(2) lambda_(3)`
` (1.1 sin 90^(@))^(2) lambda_(3) = lambda_(3)`
Hence, ` lambda_(1), + lambda_(2), + lambda_(3) = (veca + vecb + veca xx vecb) . vecc`
