Question 2.
Find the value of λ for which the vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are perpendicular, where
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Vector Algebra - I Ex 8.3 3
Solution:
(i) \(\vec{a}\) = 2î + λĵ – k̂ and \(\vec{b}\) = î – 2ĵ + 3k̂
Given \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are perpendicular vectors
∴ \(\vec{a}\) . \(\vec{b}\) = 0
(2î + λĵ – k̂ ) . (î – 2ĵ + 3k̂) = 0
(2) (1) + (λ) (- 2) + (1) (3) = 0
2 – 2λ + 3 = 0
2λ = 5
λ = \(\frac{5}{2}\)

(ii) \(\vec{a}\) = 2î + 4ĵ – k̂ and \(\vec{b}\) = 3î – 2ĵ + λk̂
Given \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are perpendicular vectors
∴ \(\vec{a}\) . \(\vec{b}\) = 0
(2î + 4ĵ – k̂) . (3î – 2ĵ + λk̂) = 0
(2) (3) + (4) (-2) + (-1) (λ) = 0
6 – 8 – λ = 0
λ = – 2

Question 3.
