Let a=i^+αj^+βk^ , α,βR. Let a vector b be such that the angle between a and b is π4 and b2=6, If a·b=32, then the value of α2+β2|a×b|2 is equal to
  1. 90
  2. 75
  3. 95
  4. 85

Solution

Given: b2=6, a·b=32, a=i^+αj^+βk^

We know that, a.b=abcosθ

32=12+α2+β26cosπ4

32=12+α2+β23

1+α2+β2=6

1+α2+β2=6

α2+β2=5

Also, a×b=absinθ

a×b=66sinπ4=62

a×b2=18

α2+β2a×b2=5×18

α2+β2a×b2=90
