Algebra of Vectors Excercise:22.5

Algebra of vector exercise 22.5 question 1

Answer:

5
Hints: \left | x\hat{i} +y\hat{j}\right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\left | \vec{a} \right |
Given: Position vector of a point (-4,-3) be \left | \vec{a} \right |
Find: \left | \vec{a} \right |
We know position vector of a point(x,y) is given by x\hat{i} +y\hat{j} where \hat{i} and \hat{j} are units vectors in x and y directions.
\vec{a}=(-4)\hat{i} +(-3)\hat{j}
Now we need to find magnitude of \vec{a} i.e \left |\vec{a} \right |
\left | x\hat{i} +y\hat{j}\right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}
Here, x=-4 and y=-3
\left |\vec{a} \right |=\sqrt{(-4)^{2} +(-3)^{2}}\\ \left |\vec{a} \right |=\sqrt{16+9}\\ \left |\vec{a} \right |=\sqrt{25}\\ \left |\vec{a} \right |=5
thus \left |\vec{a} \right |=5

Algebra of vector exercise 22.5 question 2

Answer:

n=\pm 5
Hints: \left | x\hat{i} +y\hat{j}\right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\left | \vec{a} \right |
Given: Position vector of \vec{a} point (12,n) be \left | \vec{a} \right |
Find: \left | \vec{a} \right |
We know position vector of a point(x,y) is given by x\hat{i} +y\hat{j} where \hat{i} and \hat{j} are units vectors in x and y directions.
\vec{a}=12\hat{i} +n\hat{j}
Then:
\left | \vec{a} \right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}
Here, x=12 and y=n
\left |\vec{a} \right |=\sqrt{12^{2} +n^{2}}\\ \left |\vec{a} \right |=13[given]
13=\sqrt{(12)^{2} +(n)^{2}}\\
Squaring both sides
13^{2}=(12)^{2} +(n)^{2}\\ 169=144+n^{2}\\ n^{2}=25\\ n=\pm 5

Algebra of vector exercise 22.5 question 4 (i)

Answer:

\vec{AB}=-3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}\\ \left |\vec{AB} \right |=5
Hint: \left | x\hat{i} +y\hat{j}\right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\left | \vec{a} \right |
Position vector \left |\vec{AB} \right | is given x, y
\left |\vec{AB} \right | = position vector of B - position vector of A
Given:
A=(4,-1) and B(1,3)
Solution:
We know position vector of a point (x, y) is given by x\hat{i} +y\hat{j} where \hat{i} and \hat{j} are unit vector in
x and y direction
A=4\hat{i}+(-1)\hat{j}\\ B=i+3\hat{j}
Then the position vector \vec{AB} is given by
\vec{AB} = position vector of B - position vector of A
=\left (\hat{i}+3\hat{j} \right )-\left (4\hat{i}-\hat{j} \right )\\ =\hat{i}+3\hat{j} -4\hat{i}+\hat{j} \\ AB=-3\hat{i}+4j
So,
\left |\vec{AB} \right |=(-3)^{2}+(4)^{2}\\ =\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}\\\left |\vec{AB} \right |=5

Algebra of vector exercise 22.5 question 4 (ii)

Answer:

\vec{AB}=4\hat{i}-8\hat{j}\\ \left |\vec{AB} \right |=4\sqrt{5}
Hint: \left | x\hat{i} +y\hat{j}\right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\left | \vec{a} \right |
Position vector \vec{AB} is given x, y
\vec{AB} = position vector of B - position vector of A
Given:
A=(-6,3) and B(-2,-5)
Solution:
We know position vector of a point (x, y) is given by x\hat{i} +y\hat{j} where \hat{i} and \hat{j} are unit vector in
x and y direction
\vec{A}=-6\hat{i}+3\hat{j}\\ \vec{B}=-2i-5\hat{j}
Then the position vector \vec{AB} is given by
\vec{AB} = position vector of B - position vector of A
=\left (2\hat{i}-5\hat{j} \right )-\left (-6\hat{i}+3\hat{j} \right )\\ =-2\hat{i}-5\hat{j} +6\hat{i}-3\hat{j} \\ =4\hat{i}-8\hat{j}\\ \left |\vec{AB} \right |=\sqrt{4^{2}+(-8)^{2}}=\sqrt{16+64}\\ =\sqrt{80}\\ \left |\vec{AB} \right |=4\sqrt{5}-

Algebra of Vectors exercise 22.5 question 5
Answer:

(-1,-2)
Hint: Position vector \vec{AB} is given \vec{AB} = position vector B- position vector of A
Given: Coordinate of A (-1, 3)
Coordinates of B (-2,1)
Solution:
\vec{A}= -\hat{i}+3\hat{j} & \vec{B}= -2\hat{i}+\hat{j}
We know position vector of point (x, y) is given by (x\hat{i}+y\hat{j})
Let 0 be the origin
Let P(x,y) be the second point
Then \vec{P} is the tip of the position vector \vec{OP} of the point p
We have: \vec{OP}=x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}
position vector of B- position vector of A
\vec{AB}= position vector of B= position vector of A
=(-2\hat{i}+\hat{j})-(-\hat{i}+3\hat{j})\\ =-2\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{i}-3\hat{j}\\ =-\hat{i}-2\hat{j}
\vec{OP}=\vec{AB} given
x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}=-\hat{i}-2\hat{j}
then x=-1 and y= -2
Hence coordinate of the required point is (-1,-2)

Algebra of Vectors exercise 22.5 question 6
Answer:

the coordinates of D is (-4,-3)
Hint: Position vectors \vec{AB} is given by = position vector of B -position vector of A
Given;
Coordinates of A=(-2,-1)
Coordinates of B=(3,0)
Coordinates of C=(1,-2)
Let the coordinates of D is (x , y)
Since ABCD is a parallelogram,
AB=DC
We have
\vec{AB}=\vec{DC}
As we know position vector of point (x, y) is given by x\hat{i}=y\hat{j}where \hat{i} and \hat{j} are position vector of x, and y direction.
\vec{A}=-2\hat{i}-\hat{j}\\ \vec{B}=3\hat{i}+0\hat{j}\\ \vec{C}=\hat{i}-2\hat{j}\\ \vec{D}=x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}
Then the position vector \vec{AB} is given by
\vec{AB}= position vector of B - position vector of A
\left (3\hat{i}+0\hat{j} \right )-\left (-2\hat{i}-\hat{j} \right )\\ 3\hat{i}+0\hat{j} +2\hat{i}+\hat{j} \\ \vec{AB}=5\hat{i}+\hat{j}
Then we find \vec{DC}
\vec{DC}= position vector C- position vector of D
=\left (\hat{i}-2\hat{j} \right )-\left (x\hat{i}+y\hat{j} \right )\\ =\hat{i}-x\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+y\hat{j} \\ =\hat{i}\left ( 1-x \right )+\hat{j}\left ( -2-y \right )
We have \vec{AB}=\vec{DC}
Then:
5\hat{i}+\hat{j}=\left ( 1-x \right )\hat{i}+\left ( -2-y \right )\hat{j}
Then comparing coefficient of \hat{i} and \hat{j}
\begin{matrix} 5=1-x & 1=-2-y\\ x=1-5 &y=-2-1 \\ x=-4 & y=-3 \end{matrix}
Hence the coordinates of D is (-4, -3)

Algebra of Vectors exercise 22.5 question 7
Answer:

\hat{i}-5\hat{j}
Hint: position vector of point (x , y) is given by where \hat{i} and \hat{j} are the position in x an y direction.
Given:
Point A(3,4),B(5,-6),C(4,-1)
Find \vec{a}+2\vec{b}-3\vec{c}
Solution:
As we know position vector of point (x, y) is given by \left (x\hat{i}+y\hat{j} \right )
Where \hat{i}and \hat{j} are the position vector in x and y direction
Then,
\vec{A}=\left (3\hat{i}+4\hat{j} \right )\\ \vec{B}=\left (5\hat{i}+(-6)\hat{j} \right )=5\hat{i}-6\hat{j}\\ \vec{C}=\left (4\hat{i}+(-1)\hat{j} \right )=4\hat{i}-\hat{j}\\ 2\vec{B}=2\left (5\hat{i}-6\hat{j} \right )=10\hat{i}-12\hat{j}\\ 3\vec{C}=3\left (4\hat{i}-\hat{j} \right )=12\hat{i}-3\hat{j}
\vec{a}+2\vec{b}-3\vec{c} Substitute value of \vec{a},2\vec{b},3\vec{c} in equation \vec{a}+2\vec{b}-3\vec{c}
=3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+10\hat{i}-12\hat{j}-\left ( 12\hat{i}-3\hat{j} \right )\\ =3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+10\hat{i}-12\hat{j}- 12\hat{i}+3\hat{j}\\ =\hat{i}\left ( 3+10-12 \right )+\hat{j}\left ( 4-12+3 \right )\\ =\hat{i}\left ( 1 \right )+\hat{j}\left ( -5 \right )\\ =\hat{i}-5\hat{j}

Algebra of Vectors exercise 22.5 question 8
Answer:

(9, -4)
Hint: position vector \vec{AB} is given by \vec{AB} =position vector of B- position vector of A
Given: coordinates of A(4, -1) , a \vec{a} is the position vector whose tip i is (5, -3)
Solution:
Let O be the origin of point (0, 0)
Position P(5, -3) be the tip of the position vector \vec{a}
Then the \vec{a} ,\vec{OP} =Position vector of p- position vector of o.
As we know position vector of point (x, y) is given by \left ( x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}\right ) where \hat{i} and \hat{j} are the unit vectors.
Then
\vec{P}=5\hat{i}+-3\hat{j}=5\hat{i}-3\hat{j}\\ \vec{O}=0\hat{i}+0\hat{j} \\ \vec{OP}=5\hat{i}-3\hat{j}-0\hat{i}+0\hat{j}\\ \vec{OP}=5\hat{i}-3\hat{j}-0\hat{i}-0\hat{j}\\ =5-0\hat{i}+-3-0\hat{j}\\ \vec{OP}=5\hat{i}-3\hat{j}
Let the coordinate of B be (x,y) and A has coordinate (4,-1)
Therefore
\vec{A}=4\hat{i}+-1\hat{j}=4\hat{i}-\hat{j}\\ \vec{B}=x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}
AB=\vec{AB} Position vectors of B – position vector of A
\vec{AB}=x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}-\left (4\hat{i}-\hat{j} \right )\\ =x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}-4\hat{i}+\hat{j}\\ =\left (x-4 \right )\hat{i}+\hat{j}\left (y+1 \right )
Now,
\vec{AB}=\vec{a}\\ \left ( x-4 \right )\hat{i}+\left ( y+1 \right )\hat{j}=5\hat{i}-3\hat{j}
Comparing coefficient of \hat{i} & \hat{j}
x-4=5\\ x=5+4\\ x=9\\ x+1=-3\\ y=-3-1\\ y=-4
Hence, the coordinate of B are (9,-4)

Algebra of Vector exercise 22.5 question 9
Answer:

the magnitude of AB and AC is equal
Hence the points 2\hat{i},-\hat{i}-4\hat{j} and -\hat{i}+4\hat{j} form an isosceles triangle
Hint: the magnitude of \left |\vec{a} \right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}
Position vector \vec{AB} is given by the \vec{AB} = position vector of B - position vector of A
Given: the points A,B,C with position vectors \vec{a},\vec{b},\vec{c} respectively
Also,
\vec{a}=2\hat{i}\\ \vec{b}=-\hat{i}-4\hat{j}\\ \vec{c}=-\hat{i}+4\hat{j}
Solution:
Now we find the position vector \vec{AB}
Then,
\vec{AB}=\vec{b}-\vec{a}\\ =\left (-\hat{i}-4\hat{j} \right )-2\hat{i}\\ =-\hat{i}-4\hat{j}-2\hat{i}\\ \vec{AB}=-3\hat{3}-4\hat{j}
Now
\left |\vec{AB} \right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}
Here x=-3 and y= -4
=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}\\ =\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}\\ =5
\vec{BC}=Position vector of C – Position vector of B
=\left ( -\hat{i}+4\hat{j} \right )-\left ( -\hat{i}-4\hat{j} \right )\\ = -\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+\hat{i}+4\hat{j} \\ =0\hat{i}+8\hat{j}\\ =8\hat{j}
\vec{AC}=Position vector of C – position vector of A
=\left ( -\hat{i}+4\hat{j} \right )-\left ( 2\hat{i} \right )\\ = -\hat{i}+4\hat{j}-\hat{j} \\ =-3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}\\
Now
\left |\vec{AC} \right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}
Here x=-3 and y=4
=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}\\ =\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}\\ =5
Since, the magnitude of AB and AC are equal
Hence, the points 2\hat{i},-\hat{i}-4\hat{j} and -\hat{i}+4\hat{j} form an isosceles triangle

Hint: a unit vector parallel to
\vec{a}=\hat{a}=\frac{\vec{a}}{\left | \vec{a} \right |}\\ \left | \vec{a} \right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}
Given: \vec{a}=\hat{i}+\sqrt{3}\hat{j}
Solution:
We can find the magnitude of \vec{a}
\left | \vec{a} \right |=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}
Here x = 1 and y=\sqrt{3}
\left |\vec{a} \right |=1^{2}+(\sqrt{3})^{2}\\ =\sqrt{1+3}=4\\ \left |\vec{a} \right |=2
Unit vector parallel to \vec{a}=\hat{a}=\frac{\vec{a}}{\left | \vec{a} \right |}\\
=\frac{1}{2}\left ( \hat{i}+\sqrt{3}\hat{j} \right )\\ =\frac{1}{2}\hat{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\hat{j}

Algebra of Vector exercise 22.5 question 11
Answer:

\lambda=8 and \mu =-5
Hint: here we use sector formula
\frac{\left ( mx_{2}+nx_{1} \right )}{m+n},\frac{\left ( my_{2}+ny_{1} \right )}{m+n}
Where m,n are the given ratios
Given: the position vectors of points A, B and C are
\vec{A}=\lambda \hat{i}+3\hat{j}\\\vec{B}=12\hat{i}+\mu \hat{j}\\\vec{C}=11\hat{i}-3\hat{j}
Solution:
It is given that C, divides the line segment joining A and B in the ratio 3:1
\begin{aligned} &11 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}=3 \times(12 \hat{\imath}+\mu \hat{\jmath})+1(\lambda \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}) \\ &11 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}=\frac{36 \hat{\imath}+3 u \hat{\jmath}+\lambda \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}}{4} \\ \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}&11 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}=\frac{(36+\lambda) \hat{\imath}+(3 \mu+3) \hat{\jmath}}{4} \\ &4(11 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath})=(36+\lambda) \hat{\imath}+(3 u+3) \hat{\jmath} \\ &44 \hat{\imath}-12 \hat{\jmath}=(36+\lambda) \hat{\imath}+(3 u+3) \hat{\jmath} \end{aligned}
Equating the corresponding components, we get;
36+\lambda=44\\ \lambda=44-36\\ \lambda=8
and
3\mu+3=-12\\ 3\mu=-12-3=-15\\ \mu=\frac{-15}{3}=-5\\ \mu=-5
Thus, the values of \lambda and \mu are 8 and -5 respectively
