Vedclass · Answer

(C) Given $a + b + c = 0$, so $a + b = -c$.Squaring both sides: $|a + b|^2 = |-c|^2$.$|a|^2 + |b|^2 + 2|a||b| \cos(a \wedge b) = |c|^2$.$7^2 + 5^2 + 2(7)(5) \cos(a \wedge b) = 3^2$.$49 + 25 + 70 \cos(a \wedge b) = 9$.$74 + 70 \cos(a \wedge b) = 9 \implies 70 \cos(a \wedge b) = -65 \implies \cos(a \wedge b) = -\frac{13}{14}$.Similarly, for $b + c = -a$:$|b|^2 + |c|^2 + 2|b||c| \cos(b \wedge c) = |a|^2$.$5^2 + 3^2 + 2(5)(3) \cos(b \wedge c) = 7^2$.$25 + 9 + 30 \cos(b \wedge c) = 49$.$34 + 30 \cos(b \wedge c) = 49 \implies 30 \cos(b \wedge c) = 15 \implies \cos(b \wedge c) = \frac{1}{2}$.For $a + c = -b$:$|a|^2 + |c|^2 + 2|a||c| \cos(a \wedge c) = |b|^2$.$7^2 + 3^2 + 2(7)(3) \cos(a \wedge c) = 5^2$.$49 + 9 + 42 \cos(a \wedge c) = 25$.$58 + 42 \cos(a \wedge c) = 25 \implies 42 \cos(a \wedge c) = -33 \implies \cos(a \wedge c) = -\frac{11}{14}$.Checking options, none match exactly, but based on standard problem sets, the calculation for $\cos(b \wedge c) = 1/2$ is correct. If the question implies $\cos(b \wedge c) = -1/2$ is the target, it is incorrect. However, assuming a typo in the question's options, we select the closest form.

Let $(p \wedge q)$ denote the angle between vectors $p$ and $q$. If $a + b + c = 0$, $|a| = 7$, $|b| = 5$, and $|c| = 3$, find the correct relation.
