Question

If two vectors \[\vec{a} \text{ and } \vec{b}\] are such that \[\left| \vec{a} \right| = 2, \left| \vec{b} \right| = 1 \text{ and } \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 1,\]  then find the value of \[\left( 3 \vec{a} - 5 \vec{b} \right) \cdot \left( 2 \vec{a} + 7 \vec{b} \right) .\]

Solution

\[\text{ Given that }\]

\[\left| \vec{a} \right| = 2, \left| \vec{b} \right| = 1 \text{ and } \vec{a} . \vec{b} = 1 . . . \left( 1 \right)\]

\[\text{ Now },\]

\[\left( 3 \vec{a} - 5 \vec{b} \right) . \left( 2 \vec{a} + 7 \vec{b} \right)\]

\[ = 6 \left| \vec{a} \right|^2 + 21 \vec{a} . \vec{b} - 10 \vec{b} . \vec{a} - 35 \left| \vec{b} \right|^2 \]

\[ = 6 \left| \vec{a} \right|^2 + 21 \vec{a} . \vec{b} - 10 \vec{a} . \vec{b} - 35 \left| \vec{b} \right|^2................... (\text{ We know that } \vec{a} . \vec{b} = \vec{b} . \vec{a} )\]

\[ = 6 \left| \vec{a} \right|^2 + 11 \vec{a} . \vec{b} - 35 \left| \vec{b} \right|^2 \]

\[ = 6 \left( 2 \right)^2 + 11 \left( 1 \right) - 35 \left( 1 \right)^2............... \left[ \text{ From } (1) \right]\]

\[ = 24 + 11 - 35\]

\[ = 0\]
