Let a → = 3 i ^ + j ^ - k ^ and c → = 2 i ^ - 3 j ^ + 3 k ^ . If b → is a vector such that…

Let a=3i^+j^-k^ and c=2i^-3j^+3k^. If b is a vector such that a=b×c and |b|2=50, then 72-b+c2 is equal to __________.

Solution

Given,

a=3i^+j^-k^ and c=2i^-3j^+3k^. 

And b is a vector such that a=b×c and |b|2=50,

Now solving, |a|=|b×c|

32+12+12=|b|·22+32+32·sinθ

11=50·22·sinθ

sinθ=110 or cosθ=9910

Now solving,72-b+c2 we get,

72-b+c2

=72-b2+c2+2bccosθ

=72-50+22+2×52.229910

=72-72+2×5×2×11×310

=66=66
