For how many distinct real values of $\lambda$ are the vectors $-\lambda^2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,$\hat{i} - \lambda^2 \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,and $\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \lambda^2 \hat{k}$ coplanar?

Let $\vec{v} = 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}$ and $\vec{w} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{k}$. If $\vec{u}$ is a unit vector,then the maximum value of the scalar triple product $[\vec{u} \vec{v} \vec{w}]$ is

Let $\vec{a} = (a_1\hat{i} + a_2\hat{j} + a_3\hat{k})$, $\vec{b} = (b_1\hat{i} + b_2\hat{j} + b_3\hat{k})$, and $\vec{c} = (c_1\hat{i} + c_2\hat{j} + c_3\hat{k})$ be three non-zero vectors such that $\vec{a}$ is a unit vector perpendicular to both $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$. If the angle between $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ is $\frac{\pi}{3}$, then find the value of $\left| \begin{matrix} a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\ b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\ c_1 & c_2 & c_3 \end{matrix} \right|^2$.

If $a, b, c$ are three coplanar vectors,then $[a + b, b + c, c + a] = $

For what value of $\lambda$ is the volume of the tetrahedron with vertices having position vectors $\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} + 10\hat{k}$,$-\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 7\hat{k}$,$5\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \lambda\hat{k}$,and $7\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} + 7\hat{k}$ equal to $11$ cubic units?

Statement $1$: The vectors $\vec{a}, \vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ lie in the same plane if and only if $\vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) = 0$.
Statement $2$: The vectors $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ are perpendicular if and only if $\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v} = 0$,where $\vec{u} \times \vec{v}$ is a vector perpendicular to the plane of $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$.
