The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem step by step, we will analyze each part of the question regarding the orthogonal unit vectors \( \mathbf{i}, \mathbf{j}, \mathbf{k} \). ### Step 1: Calculate \( \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{i} + \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{k} \) 1. The dot product of a unit vector with itself is 1. Therefore: - \( \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{i} = 1 \) - \( \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{j} = 1 \) - \( \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{k} = 1 \) 2. Adding these values together: \[ \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{i} + \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{k} = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 \] **Answer for (i):** \( 3 \) ### Step 2: Calculate \( \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{j} + \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{k} + \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{i} \) 1. The dot product of two orthogonal unit vectors is 0. Therefore: - \( \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{j} = 0 \) - \( \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{k} = 0 \) - \( \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{i} = 0 \) 2. Adding these values together: \[ \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{j} + \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{k} + \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{i} = 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 \] **Answer for (ii):** \( 0 \) ### Step 3: Calculate \( \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{i} = \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{j} = \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{k} \) 1. As established earlier, the dot product of each unit vector with itself is: - \( \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{i} = 1 \) - \( \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{j} = 1 \) - \( \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{k} = 1 \) 2. Therefore, we can conclude: \[ \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{i} = \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{j} = \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{k} = 1 \] **Answer for (iii):** \( 1 \) ### Step 4: Calculate \( \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{j} = \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{k} = \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{i} \) 1. As established earlier, the dot product of each pair of orthogonal unit vectors is: - \( \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{j} = 0 \) - \( \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{k} = 0 \) - \( \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{i} = 0 \) 2. Therefore, we can conclude: \[ \mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{j} = \mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{k} = \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{i} = 0 \] **Answer for (iv):** \( 0 \) ### Summary of Answers: - (i) \( 3 \) - (ii) \( 0 \) - (iii) \( 1 \) - (iv) \( 0 \)
