Concept:

  • The cross product of vector to itself = 0
  • The cross product of collinear vectors = 0
  • The dot product of collinear vectors = Product of their Magnitudes
  • For dot product 
  • For cross product  
  • The unit vector in the direction of a  
  • A vector in direction of  = (Magnitude of ) ×

 

Calculation:

Given:

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ 

It means the  and  are collinear vectors.

∴  

⇒  

⇒ \(\boldsymbol{\rm\vec a + \vec b = 2\hat i + 3\hat j + 4\hat k}\)

⇒  

⇒
