Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 1(i)

Answer: Vectors are collinear
Hint: Prove one vector representing in the form of another vector
$\Rightarrow Given$ Let
$\begin{aligned} &A=2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k} \\ &B=3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k} \\ &C=\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
$\overrightarrow{AB}$ = Position of vector B – Position of vector A
$\begin{aligned} &=(3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k})-(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}) \\ &=(3-2) \hat{i}+\{-(2+1)\} \hat{j}+(1+1) \hat{k} \\ &=\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
$\overrightarrow{BC}$ = Position of vector C – Position of vector B
$\begin{aligned} &=(\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k})-(3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}) \\ &=(1-3) \hat{i}+(4+2) \hat{j}+(-3-1) \hat{k} \\ &=-2 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k} \\ &=-2(\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}) \end{aligned}$
From (1) we can say
$\overrightarrow{BC}=-2\overrightarrow{AB}$
Also, B is the common point and $\overrightarrow{BC}$ and $\overrightarrow{AB}$ are parallel
Hence, Vectors are collinear.

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 1(ii)

Answer: Vectors are collinear
Hint: Find PQ and QR
$\Rightarrow Given$
$\begin{aligned} &P=3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k} \\ &Q=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k} \\ &R=-\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
Solution:
Let P,Q and R be the points represented and the factor vectors are
$\begin{aligned} &P=3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k} \\ &Q=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k} \\ &R=-\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
$\overrightarrow{PQ}$ = Position of vector Q – Position of vector P
$\begin{aligned} &=(-\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k})-(3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}) \\ &=-\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}-3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k} \\ &=-2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
$\overrightarrow{QR}$ = Position of vector R – Position of vector Q
$\begin{aligned} &=(-\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k})-( \hat{i}+ \hat{j}+ \hat{k}) \\ &=-\hat{i}+4\hat{j}-2\hat{k}- \hat{i}- \hat{j}- \hat{k} \\ &=-2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
Here, $\overrightarrow{PQ}=\overrightarrow{QR}$
So, they are parallel to each other and B bring the common point implies that vectors are all collinear.

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 2(i)

Answer: A,B and C are collinear
Hint: Use formula $\overrightarrow{AB}=\lambda \overrightarrow{BC}$ i.e. representing one vector as a scalar product of another vector
$\Rightarrow Given$ , the points,
$\begin{aligned} &A=6 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}-\hat{k} \\ &B=2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+\hat{k} \\ &C=4 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j} \end{aligned}$
$\overrightarrow{AB}$ = Position of vector B – Position of vector A
$\begin{aligned} &=(2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+\hat{k})-(6 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \\ &=(2-6) \hat{i}+(-3+7) \hat{j}+(1+1) \hat{k} \\ &=-4 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k} \\ &=-2(2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \end{aligned}$
Similarly, $\overrightarrow{BC}$ = Position of vector C – Position of vector B
$\begin{aligned} &=(4 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}+0 \hat{k})-(2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}) \\ &=(4-2) \hat{i}+(-5+3) \hat{j}+(0-1) \hat{k} \\ &=2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-\hat{k} \end{aligned}$
From $\left ( 1 \right )$
$\overrightarrow{AB}=-2\overrightarrow{BC}$
Thus, both vectors are parallel to each other and as B is the common point
$A\left ( 6,-7,-1 \right ),B\left ( 2,-3,1 \right )$ & $C\left ( 4,-5,0 \right )$ are collinear.

$\overrightarrow{AB}$ = Position of vector B – Position of vector A
$\begin{aligned} &=(4 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+\hat{k})-(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \\ &=(4-2) \hat{i}+(3+1) \hat{j}+(1-3) \hat{k} \\ &=2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k} \\ &=2(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \end{aligned}$ ............(1)
Similarly, $\overrightarrow{BC}$ = Position of vector C – Position of vector B
$\begin{aligned} &=(3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+2 \hat{k})-(4 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}) \\ &=(3-4) \hat{i}+(1-3) \hat{j}+(2-1) \hat{k} \\ &=-\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k} \\ &=-(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \end{aligned}$ ............(2)
From (1) & (2)
$\overrightarrow{AB}=-2\overrightarrow{BC}$
Thus, both vectors are parallel to each other and as B being the common point
Given, Points A, B and C are collinear.

Answer: A,B and C are collinear
Hint: Represent one vector as a scalar product of another.
$\Rightarrow Given$ the points,
$\begin{aligned} &A=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k} \\ &B=2 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \\ &C=3 \hat{i}+10 \hat{j}-\hat{k} \end{aligned}$
$\overrightarrow{AB}$ = Position of vector B – Position of vector A
$\begin{aligned} &=(2 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})-(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k}) \\ &=(2-1) \hat{i}+(6-2) \hat{j}+(3-7) \hat{k} \\ &=\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+(-4) \hat{k} \\ &=\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$ ..........(1)
Similarly, $\overrightarrow{BC}$ = Position of vector C – Position of vector B
$\begin{aligned} &=(3 \hat{i}+10 \hat{j}-\hat{k})-(2 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})\\ &=(3-2) \hat{i}+(10-6) \hat{j}+(-1-3) \hat{k}\\ &=\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\\ \end{aligned}$ .........(2)
$\text { From }(1) \&(2)\\$
$\overrightarrow{A B}=\overrightarrow{B C}$
So, vectors are parallel. But B is a point common to them
Hence, the given points A,B and C are collinear.

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 2(iv)

Answer: Vectors are collinear
Hint: Use formula $\overrightarrow{AB}=\lambda \overrightarrow{BC}$ i.e. representing one vector as a scalar product of another vector
$\Rightarrow Given$ the points,
$\begin{aligned} &A=-3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k} \\ &B=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \\ &C=3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
$\overrightarrow{AB}$ = Position of vector B – Position of vector A
$\begin{aligned} &=(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})-(-3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k})\\ &=(1+3) \hat{i}+(2+2) \hat{j}+(3+5) \hat{k}\\ &=4 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+8 \hat{k}\\ &=4(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}) \end{aligned}$ .....(1)
Similarly, $\overrightarrow{BC}$ = Position of vector C – Position of vector B
$\begin{aligned} &=(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k})-(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})\\ &=(3-1) \hat{i}+(4-2) \hat{j}+(7-3) \hat{k}\\ &=2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}\\ \end{aligned}$ .......(2)
$\text { From }(1) \&(2)\\$
$\overrightarrow{A B}=2 \overrightarrow{B C}$
Thus both vectors are parallel to each other and B being the common point
Hence, vectors are collinear.

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 3(i)

Answer: Vectors are co-planar
Hint: Vectors are coplanar if we express them as a linear combination of other two.
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 5 \vec{a}+6 \vec{b}+7 \vec{c}=x(7 \vec{a}-8 \vec{b}+9 \vec{c})+y(3 \vec{a}+20 \vec{b}+5 \vec{c}) \\ &\Rightarrow 5 \vec{a}+6 \vec{b}+7 \vec{c}=\vec{a}(7 x+3 y)+\vec{b}(-8 x+20 y)+\vec{c}(9 x+5 y) \end{aligned}$
Comparing the equations
$\begin{aligned} &5=7 x+3 y\\ &7 x+3 y=5\\ \end{aligned}$ .....(1)
$-8 x+20 y=6\\$ .......(2)
$9 x+5 y=7$ ........(3)
Solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method
$\begin{aligned} &7 x+3 y=5\\ \end{aligned}$ ............ $\left ( 1 \right )\times \left ( -8 \right )$
$-8 x+20 y=6\\$ ............. $\left ( 2 \right )\times \left ( 7 \right )$
$\underline{\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{r} -56 x-24 y=-40 \\ -56 x+140 y=42 \\ \end{array} \end{gathered}}$
$-164 y=-82 \\ y=\frac{-82}{-164} \\ y=\frac{1}{2}$
Put value of y in (1)
$\begin{aligned} &7 x+3\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=5 \\ &7 x+\frac{3}{2}=5 \\ &7 x=5-\frac{3}{2} \\ &7 x=\frac{10-3}{2} \\ &7 x=\frac{7}{2} \Rightarrow x=\frac{7}{7 \times 2} \\ \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}$
Now $x=\frac{1}{2}$ & $y=\frac{1}{2}$ satisfies the third equation
Hence given vectors are coplanar.

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 3(ii)

Answer: Vectors are not co-planar
Hint: Place the three vectors in the form of linear combination of the other two
Let,
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \vec{a}-2 \vec{b}+3 \vec{c}=x(-3 \vec{b}+5 \vec{c})+y(-2 \vec{a}+3 \vec{b}-4 \vec{c}) \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{a}-2 \vec{b}+3 \vec{c}=\vec{a}(-2 y)+\vec{b}(-3 x+3 y)+\vec{c}(5 x-4 y) \end{aligned}$
Comparing the terms we get,
$\begin{aligned} &1=-2 y \Rightarrow y=\frac{-1}{2} \\ &-2=-3 x+3 y \Rightarrow-2=-3 x+3\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right) \\ &-2=-3 x-\frac{3}{2} \\ &3 x=-\frac{3}{2}+2 \\ &3 x=\frac{-3+4}{2} \\ \end{aligned}$
$x=\frac{1}{6} \\$
$\text { Similarly }, 3=5 x-4 y \\ \text { Put } \\ x=\frac{1}{6} \& y=\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) \\ \text { R.H.S }=5 x-4 y$
$\begin{aligned} &=5\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)-4\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) \\ &=\frac{5}{6}+2 \\ &=\frac{5+12}{6} \\ &=\frac{17}{6} \neq 3 \end{aligned}$
Thus, here value of x and y do not satisfy the third equation.
Hence given vectors are not coplanar.

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 4

Answer: Vectors are co-planar
Hint: Express four points as the linear combination of one vector into two vectors
Given: Let,
$\begin{aligned} &P=6 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j} \\ &Q=16 \hat{i}-19 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k} \\ &R=3 \hat{j}-6 \hat{k} \\ &S=2 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}+10 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow$ Now, Expressing one vector as a linear combination of other two.
$\begin{aligned} &\overrightarrow{P Q}=(16 \hat{i}-19 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k})-(6 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}+0 \hat{k})\\ &=(16-6) \hat{i}+(-19+7) \hat{j}+(-4-0) \hat{k}\\ &=10 \hat{i}-12 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\\ &\overrightarrow{P R}=(0 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-6 \hat{k})-(6 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}+0 \hat{k})\\ &=(0-6) \hat{i}+(3+7) \hat{j}+(-6-0) \hat{k}\\ &=-6 \hat{i}+10 \hat{j}-6 \hat{k}\\ &\overrightarrow{P S}=(2 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}+10 \hat{k})-(6 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}+0 \hat{k})\\ &=(2-6) \hat{i}+(-5+7) \hat{j}+(0-0) \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=-4 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+10 \hat{k} \\ &\overrightarrow{P Q}=x \overrightarrow{P R}+y \overrightarrow{P S} \\ &10 \hat{i}-12 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}=x(-6 \hat{i}+10 \hat{j}-6 \hat{k})+y(-4 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+10 \hat{k}) \\ &10 \hat{i}-12 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}=\hat{i}(-6 x-4 y)+\hat{j}(10 x+2 y)+\hat{k}(-6 x+10) \end{aligned}$
Comparing coefficients of i, j and k on both sides
$\begin{aligned} &-6 x-4 y=10 \Rightarrow-2(3 x+2 y)=10 \Rightarrow 3 x+2 y=-5 \ldots \ldots .(1)\\ &10 x+2 y=-12 \Rightarrow 2(5 x+y)=-12 \Rightarrow 5 x+y=-6 \ldots \ldots .\left ( 2 \right )\\ &-6 x+10 y=-4 \Rightarrow-2(3 x-5 y)=-4 \Rightarrow 3 x-5 y=2 \ldots \ldots .(3) \end{aligned}$
Solving (1) and (3) by elimination
$\begin{aligned} &\begin{array}{c} 3 x+2 y=-5 \\ 3 x-5 y=2 \\ \frac{7 y}{y}=-7 \\ y=\frac{-7}{7} \Rightarrow y=-1 \\ 3 x-5(-1)=2 \\ 3 x+5=2 \\ 3 x=2-5 \\ x=\frac{-3}{3}=-1 \end{array} \end{aligned}$
Now, Put $x=-1$ & $y=-1$ in equation (2)
$\begin{aligned} &5 x+y=-6 \\ &\text { L.H } S=5(-1)+(-1) \\ &=-5-1 \\ &=-6 \\ &=R \cdot H . S \end{aligned}$
As $x=-1$ & $y=-1$ satisfies all the equation we can say that
All four points are coplanar.

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 5(i)

Answer: Vectors are co-planar
Hint: We know that vectors are coplanar if one can be expressed as a linear combination into other two.
Given:
So, if
$\begin{aligned} &A=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\\ &B=\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}\\ &C=3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\\ &\text { then, }\\ &A=x B+y C\\ &2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}=x(\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k})+y(3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k})\\ &2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}=\hat{i}(x+3 y)+\hat{j}(-3 x-4 y)+\hat{k}(-5 x-4 y) \end{aligned}$
Comparing coefficients of $\hat{i},\hat{j}$ & $\hat{k}$ on both sides
$\begin{aligned} &x+3 y=2\\ \end{aligned}$ .....(1)
$-3 x-4 y=-1\\$ ....(2)
$-5 x-4 y=1$ ....(3)
Subtracting (2) and (3)
$-3 x-4 y=-1$
$\underline{\\ -5 x-4 y=1}$
$2x$ $=-2$
$x=-1$
Put, $x=-1$ in (2)
$\begin{aligned} &-3(-1)-4 y=-1 \\ &3-4 y=-1 \\ &-4 y=-4 \\ &y=1 \end{aligned}$
Now, put x = -1 and y = 1 in (1)
$\begin{aligned} &\text { L.H.S }=x+3 y \\ &=(-1)+3(1) \\ &=-1+3 \\ &=2 \\ &=R \cdot H . S \end{aligned}$
Thus, the values satisfy all the three we can say that vectors are coplanar.

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 5(ii)

Answer: vectors are co-planar
Hint: If vectors are given express as linear combination
$\Rightarrow$ Given vectors as follows:
Let,
$\begin{aligned} &P=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k} \\ &Q=2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-\hat{k} \\ &R=-\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k} \\ &P=x Q+y R \\ &\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}=x(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-\hat{k})+y(-\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}) \\ &\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}=\hat{i}(2 x-y)+\hat{j}(3 x-2 y)+\hat{k}(-x+2 y) \end{aligned}$
Comparing coefficient of $\hat{i},\hat{j}$ & $\hat{k}$ on both sides
$2x-y=1$ ........(1)
$3x-2y=1$ .........(2)
$-x+2y=1$ ..........(3)
Add eqn (2) and (3)
$3x-2y=1$
$\underline{-x+2y=1}$
$2x$ $=2$
$x=1$
Put, x = 1 in (3)
$\begin{aligned} &-1+2 y=1 \\ &2 y=1+1 \\ &y=\frac{2}{2}=1 \\ &\text { Put, } x=1 \& y=1 in\left ( 1 \right ) \end{aligned}$
$L.H.S=2x-y$
$=2\left ( 1 \right )-\left ( 1 \right )$
$=2-1$
$=1$
$=R.H.S$
As values satisfies the third equation we can say that the given vectors are coplanar.

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 6(i)

Answer: vectors are not co-planar
Hint: If in given vectors we can’t express one vector in linear combination of other two, then they are non-coplanar
$\Rightarrow$ Given,
$\begin{aligned} &P=3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}\\ &Q=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+7 \hat{k}\\ &R=7 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+23 \hat{k}\\ &\text { then, } \end{aligned}$
$P\neq xQ+yR$ then they are non-coplanar
$\begin{aligned} &\text { Taking } \\ &P=x Q+y R \\ &3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}=x(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+7 \hat{k})+y(7 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+23 \hat{k}) \\ &3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}=\hat{i}(2 x+7 y)+\hat{j}(-x-y)+\hat{k}(7 x+23 y) \end{aligned}$
Comparing coefficient of $\hat{i},\hat{j}$ & $\hat{k}$ on both sides
$2x+7y=3$ .......(1)
$-x-y=1$ .........(2)
$7x+23y=-1$ ..........(3)
To eliminate x from (1) and (2) multiply equation (1) with (-1) and equation (2) with (2) and subtract
$-2x-7y=-3$
$\underline{-2x-2y=2}$
$-5y=-5$
$y=1$
Put value of y = 1 in equation (2)
$\begin{aligned} &-x-1=1 \\ &\begin{array}{l} -x=2 \\ x=-2 \end{array} \\ &\text { Put } x=-2 \& y=\operatorname{lin}(3) \\ &7 x+23 y=-1 \\ &=7(-2)+23 \\ &=-14+23 \\ &=9 \\ &\neq R \cdot H \cdot S \end{aligned}$
As values of x and y do not satisf the third equation
$P\neq xQ+yR$
Thus, they are non-coplanar.

Answer: vectors are not co-planar
Hint: Form vectors in linear combination of other two vectors
$\Rightarrow$ Given, three vectors
Let,
$\begin{aligned} &A=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \\ &B=2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \\ &C=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k} \\ &A=x B+y C \\ &\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}=x(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+3 \hat{k})+y(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \\ &\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}=\hat{i}(2 x+y)+\hat{j}(x+y)+\hat{k}(3 x+y) \end{aligned}$
Comparing coefficient of $\hat{i},\hat{j}$ & $\hat{k}$
$2x+y=1$ .............(1)
$x+y=2$ ..............(2)
$3x+y=3$ .............(3)
Subtracting (1) and (2)
$\begin{aligned} &2 x+y=1\\ &\begin{aligned} &x+y=2 \\ &x=-1 \end{aligned}\\ &x+y=2\\ &-1+y=2\\ &y=3\\ &\text { Put } x=-1 \quad \& \quad y=3 \quad \text { in }\\ &3 x+y=3\\ &\text { Substitute } x=-1 \text { and } y=3 in \left ( 3 \right ) \end{aligned}$
$3x+y=3$
Substitute x=-1 and y=3
$3\left ( -1 \right )+3=3$
$= -3+3$
$=0$
$\neq 3$
Thus, as x and y do not satisfy the third equation
Hence, given vectors are non-coplanar.

Comparing coefficient of $\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b}$ & $\overrightarrow{c}$
$x+y=2$ .............(1)
$x+y= -1$ ..............(2)
$-2x-3y= 3$ ...............(3)
Subtracting equation (1) and (2)
$x+y=2$
$\underline{x+y=-1}$
No solution can be obtained
Hence given vectors are non-coplanar.

Comparing the coefficients of L.H.S and R.H.S.
$2x+y=1$ ....(1)
$x+y=2$ ....(2)
$3x+y=3$ ....(3)
Solving (1) and (2)
$2x+y=1$
$\underline{x+y=2}$
$x$ $=-1$
And from (i)
$2\times \left ( -1 \right )+y=1$
$y=1+2$
$y=3$
There is no value of x and y that can satisfy the equation (3)
Thus, vectors are not co-planar.

Subtracting (1) and (2)
$2x+y=1$
$\underline{x+y=2}$
$x$ $=-1$
$x+y=2$
$-1+y=2$
$y=3$
Put, x=-1 and y=3
$3x+y=3$
$L.H.S=3x+y$
$=3\left ( -1 \right )+3$
$=-3+3$
$=0$
$\neq R.H.S$
Thus, $\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b}$ & $\overrightarrow{c}$ are non-coplanar
Now, expressing $\overrightarrow{a}$ as a linear combination of $\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b}$ & $\overrightarrow{c}$
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{d}=\vec{a} x+\vec{b} y+\vec{c} z \\ &\Rightarrow 2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-3 \hat{k}=x(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})+y(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+3 \hat{k})+z(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \\ &\Rightarrow 2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-3 \hat{k}=\hat{i}(x+2 y+z)+\hat{j}(2 x+y+z)+\hat{k}(3 x+3 y+z) \end{aligned}$
Comparing co-efficient of $\hat{i} ,\hat{j}$ & $\hat{k}$
$x+2y+z=2$ ...(1)
$2x+y+z=-1$ ....(2)
$3x+3y+z=-3$ ....(3)
Subtracting (1) and (2)
$x+2y+z=2$
$\underline{2x+y+z=-1}$
$-x+y$ $=3$
Subtracting (2) and (3)
$2x+y+z=-1$
$\underline{3x+3y+z=-3}$
$-x-2y$ $=2$
$x+2y=-2$ .......(5)
Subtracting (4) and (5)
$x-y=-3$
$\underline{x+2y=-2}$
$-3y=-1$
$y=\frac{1}{3}$
Put $y=\frac{1}{3}$ in (4)
$\begin{aligned} &x-\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)=-3 \\ &x=-3+\frac{1}{3} \\ &x=\frac{-8}{3} \end{aligned}$
Put $x=\frac{-8}{3}$ & $y=\frac{1}{3}$ in eq (1)
$\begin{aligned} &x+2 y+z=2 \\ &\frac{-8}{3}+2\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)+z=2 \\ &\frac{-6}{3}+z=2 \\ &z=2+2 \\ &z=4 \end{aligned}$
Hence, $\overrightarrow{d}$ is expressible as linear combination of $\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b}$ & $\overrightarrow{c}$ .

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 9

Answer: Vectors are coplanar
Hint: Prove and express that vectors can be coplanar if we can express them as the linear combination.
$\Rightarrow$ Given, three vectors $\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b}$ & $\overrightarrow{c}$ to be proved as coplanar
Now “Necessary condition”
To be coplanar vectors must be expressed as linear combination of other two.
If $\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b}$ & $\overrightarrow{c}$ has to be coplanar.
There exists, $\overrightarrow{c}=x\overrightarrow{a}+y\overrightarrow{b}$ .....(1)
Where x and y be some scalars.
Hence, $l\overrightarrow{c}+m\overrightarrow{b}+n\overrightarrow{c}=0$ ....(2)
Comparing (1) and (2)
We can say, l=x
m = y
c = -1
For $l\overrightarrow{c}+m\overrightarrow{b}+n\overrightarrow{c}=0$ to be coplanar they must satisfy this.Wherel,m and n are non-zero simultaneously.
“Sufficient Condition”
If we suppose that $\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b}$ & $\overrightarrow{c}$ be three vectors satisfying $l\overrightarrow{c}+m\overrightarrow{b}+n\overrightarrow{c}=0$
Where l,m and n not all zero simultaneously as scalars.
So from, $l\overrightarrow{c}+m\overrightarrow{b}+n\overrightarrow{c}=0$
$\begin{aligned} &n \vec{c}=-l \vec{a}-m \vec{b} \\ &\vec{c}=\left(\frac{-l}{n}\right) \vec{a}+\left(\frac{-m}{n}\right) \vec{b} \end{aligned}$
Thus, $\overrightarrow{c}$ can be written as linear combination of $\overrightarrow{a}$ & $\overrightarrow{b}$ where $\left ( \frac{-l}{n} \right )$ and $\left ( \frac{-m}{n} \right )$ be some scalars.
Hence, $\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b}$ & $\overrightarrow{c}$ are coplanar vectors.

Algebra of vectors exercise 22.8 question 10

Answer: Vectors are coplanar
Hint: From vectors as a linear combination to prove they are coplanar
$\Rightarrow$ Given $\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b},\overrightarrow{c}$ & $\overrightarrow{d}$ be four position vectors.
If these vectors are coplanar then, $l\overrightarrow{d}+m\overrightarrow{b}+n\overrightarrow{c}+w\overrightarrow{d}=0$ where, l,m,n and w be some scalars
As per given condition
$\overrightarrow{a},\overrightarrow{b},\overrightarrow{c}$ & $\overrightarrow{d}$ are coplanar if they are in the form of
$3\overrightarrow{a}-2\overrightarrow{b}+\overrightarrow{c}-2\overrightarrow{d}=0$
Comparing,
l = 3
m = -2
n = 1
w = -2
Now, $l+m+n+w=3-2+1-2=0$
Thus, vectors are coplanar. Where l, m, n and w are non-zero scalar simultaneously.
