Since, , therefore

Also,

Hence,

Step 1: Writing the system of equations as a matrix.
The system of equations can be written in matrix form as follows:
For the system to have a non-zero solution, the determinant of the coefficient matrix must be zero.
Step 2: Finding the determinant.
The determinant of the matrix is: Expanding the determinant and solving gives the condition for .
Step 3: Solving for .
After solving the determinant equation, we find that satisfies the condition for a non-zero solution.
Conclusion.
The correct answer is (3) , as results in a non-zero solution.

and are reciprocal vectors of and respectively.

By simplifying the given expression using algebraic manipulation, we can solve for as .

By applying vector and reciprocal vector properties, we find that is the correct expression.

Step 1: The cross product of and gives the vector perpendicular to both and . Use the given cross product result to determine .
Step 2: After solving for , we find .

Final Answer:

Step 1: The unit vector perpendicular to a plane is given by the cross product of two vectors lying on the plane.
Step 2: Using the given points, we form two vectors and compute their cross product. After normalizing the result, we get .

Final Answer:

Step 1: The projection of a vector on the xy-plane is given by the vector .
Step 2: The length of the projection is the magnitude of :

Final Answer:

Step 1: To solve for , calculate the determinant of the coefficient matrix. For non-trivial solutions, the determinant should be zero.
Step 2: After calculating, we find that .
