    finding coplanar vector of two other
    The question is determine the value of x for which the vector c = xi + j + k is coplanar with the vectors a ( I +j -k) and B (2i - j + 3k).
    The anser is x = 4 and I think u need to use vector triple cross product to find it but I can't seem to manage it or find any examples of this style of question.

    Thanks in advance John

    problem solved the cross product of axb doted with c = o as they are perpendicular so can solve from that to give anser

Vector Mechanics [ 1 Answers ]

Hi,I've been looking at vector mechanics applied to physical problems and I am stuck on one aspect which is upsetting me as it means I don't have a full understanding. My problem is in calculating scalar products. Given 3 vector planes I,j and K , I do not understand why i.I=1, j.j=1,k.k=1 and...
