Easymathematics
Three vectors a, b, c are coplanar if their scalar triple product is
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
0
- Definition of Coplanar: All three vectors lie in the same flat plane.
- Volume Interpretation: If vectors are in the same plane, the 'parallelepiped' they form has zero height.
- Condition: Therefore, the volume (Scalar Triple Product) must be 0.
- Linear Dependence: This also implies that the vectors are linearly dependent.
