Question

Let V 1 → = i ^ + a j ^ + k ^ , V 2 → = j ^ + a k ^ and V 3 → = a i ^ + k ^ , ∀ a > 0 . If V 1 → V 2 → V 3 → is minimum, then the value of a is, 3, 3, 1 3, 1 3

V 1 → V 2 → V 3 → = 1 a 1 0 1 a a 0 1 = a 3 - a + 1 = f a (say) So, for minima f ' a = 3 a 2 − 1 = 0 Hence, for minima a = 1 3 a > 0
