Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Let v→=λ1a→+λ2b→\overrightarrow v = {\lambda _1}\overrightarrow a + {\lambda _2}\overrightarrow b , where λ1, λ2∈R{\lambda _1},\,{\lambda _2} \in R .

=(λ1+2λ2)i^+(λ1−3λ2)j^+(2λ1+λ2)k^= ({\lambda _1} + 2{\lambda _2})\widehat i + ({\lambda _1} - 3{\lambda _2})\widehat j + (2{\lambda _1} + {\lambda _2})\widehat k

∵\because Projection of v→\overrightarrow v on c→\overrightarrow c is 23{2 \over {\sqrt 3 }}

∴\therefore λ1+2λ2−λ1+3λ2+2λ1+λ23=23{{{\lambda _1} + 2{\lambda _2} - {\lambda _1} + 3{\lambda _2} + 2{\lambda _1} + {\lambda _2}} \over {\sqrt 3 }} = {2 \over {\sqrt 3 }}

∴\therefore λ1+3λ2=1{\lambda _1} + 3{\lambda _2} = 1 ..... (i)

and v→ . j^=7⇒λ1−3λ2=7\overrightarrow v \,.\,\widehat j = 7 \Rightarrow {\lambda _1} - 3{\lambda _2} = 7 ... (ii)

from equation (i) and (ii)

λ1=4{\lambda _1} = 4 , λ2=−1{\lambda _2} = - 1

∴\therefore v→=2i^+7j^+7k^\overrightarrow v = 2\widehat i + 7\widehat j + 7\widehat k

∴\therefore v→ . (i^+k^)=2+7\overrightarrow v \,.\,(\widehat i + \widehat k) = 2 + 7

=9= 9
