The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of expressing the vector \(\vec{B} = 3\vec{j} + 4\vec{k}\) as the sum of a vector \(\vec{B_1}\) parallel to \(\vec{A} = \vec{i} + \vec{j}\) and a vector \(\vec{B_2}\) perpendicular to \(\vec{A}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equation for \(\vec{B}\) We can express \(\vec{B}\) as the sum of \(\vec{B_1}\) and \(\vec{B_2}\): \[ \vec{B} = \vec{B_1} + \vec{B_2} \] ### Step 2: Express \(\vec{B_1}\) in terms of a scalar multiple of \(\vec{A}\) Since \(\vec{B_1}\) is parallel to \(\vec{A}\), we can write: \[ \vec{B_1} = \lambda \vec{A} = \lambda (\vec{i} + \vec{j}) = \lambda \vec{i} + \lambda \vec{j} \] where \(\lambda\) is a scalar. ### Step 3: Express \(\vec{B_2}\) From the equation \(\vec{B} = \vec{B_1} + \vec{B_2}\), we can express \(\vec{B_2}\) as: \[ \vec{B_2} = \vec{B} - \vec{B_1} = (3\vec{j} + 4\vec{k}) - (\lambda \vec{i} + \lambda \vec{j}) \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{B_2} = -\lambda \vec{i} + (3 - \lambda) \vec{j} + 4\vec{k} \] ### Step 4: Set up the condition for perpendicularity Since \(\vec{B_2}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{A}\), their dot product must be zero: \[ \vec{B_2} \cdot \vec{A} = 0 \] Calculating the dot product: \[ (-\lambda \vec{i} + (3 - \lambda) \vec{j} + 4\vec{k}) \cdot (\vec{i} + \vec{j}) = 0 \] This expands to: \[ -\lambda \cdot 1 + (3 - \lambda) \cdot 1 + 0 = 0 \] Simplifying gives: \[ -\lambda + 3 - \lambda = 0 \implies 3 - 2\lambda = 0 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(\lambda\) From the equation \(3 - 2\lambda = 0\), we can solve for \(\lambda\): \[ 2\lambda = 3 \implies \lambda = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 6: Substitute \(\lambda\) back to find \(\vec{B_1}\) Now we can substitute \(\lambda\) back into the expression for \(\vec{B_1}\): \[ \vec{B_1} = \lambda \vec{A} = \frac{3}{2} (\vec{i} + \vec{j}) = \frac{3}{2} \vec{i} + \frac{3}{2} \vec{j} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the vector \(\vec{B_1}\) is: \[ \vec{B_1} = \frac{3}{2} \vec{i} + \frac{3}{2} \vec{j} \] ---
