The vector ` vec c `, directed along the internal bisector of the angle between the vectors `vec a = 7 hati - 4 hatj - 4hatk and vecb = -2hati - hatj + 2 hatk " with " |vec c| = 5 sqrt(6),` is

Options

A. (a) `(5)/(3)(hati-7hatj+2hatk)`
B. (b) `(5)/(3)(5hati+5hatj+2hatk)`
C. (c) `(5)/(3)(hati+7hatj+2hatk)`
D. (d) `(5)/(3)(-5hati+5hatj+2hatk)`

Answer

A

Explanation

Let `a=7hati-4hatj-4hatk`
and `b=-2hati-hatj+2hatk`
Now, required vector `c=lamda((a)/(|a|)+(b)/(|b|))`
`=lamda((7hati-4hatj-4hatk)/(9)+(-2hati-hatj+2hatk)/(3))`
`=(lamda)/(9)(hati-7hatj+2hatk)`
`|c|^(2)=(lamda^(2))/(81)xx54=150`
`implies lamda=+-15`
`impliesc=+-(5)/(3)(hati-7hatj+2hatk)`.
