Consider the set of eight vectors $V=\{a \hat{i}+b \hat{j}+c \hat{k}: a, b, c \in\{-1,1\}\}$. Three non-coplanar vectors can be chosen from $V$ in $2^p$ ways. Then $p$ is

If the vectors $\bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c}$ are non-coplanar,then $\frac{[\bar{a}+2\bar{b} \quad \bar{b}+2\bar{c} \quad \bar{c}+2\bar{a}]}{[\bar{a} \quad \bar{b} \quad \bar{c}]}=$

Consider the vectors $\vec{x}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$,$\vec{y}=2\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+\hat{k}$,and $\vec{z}=3\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{k}$. For two distinct positive real numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$,define $\vec{X}=\alpha\vec{x}+\beta\vec{y}-\vec{z}$,$\vec{Y}=\alpha\vec{y}+\beta\vec{z}-\vec{x}$,and $\vec{Z}=\alpha\vec{z}+\beta\vec{x}-\vec{y}$. If the vectors $\vec{X}, \vec{Y}$,and $\vec{Z}$ lie in a plane,the value of $\alpha+\beta-3$ is $....$.

The value of $a$,so that the volume of the parallelepiped formed by $\hat{i} + a \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,$\hat{j} + a \hat{k}$,and $a \hat{i} + \hat{k}$ becomes minimum is

If $a, b, c$ are three non-coplanar vectors,then $\frac{a \cdot (b \times c)}{c \times a \cdot b} + \frac{b \cdot (a \times c)}{c \cdot (a \times b)} = $

If $a = -3i + 7j + 5k$,$b = -3i + 7j - 3k$,and $c = 7i - 5j - 3k$ are the three coterminous edges of a parallelepiped,then its volume is
