Step-by-step solution

Given that \overset{\to}{\alpha} = 4\overset{^}{i} + 3\overset{^}{j} + 5\overset{^}{k} and\overset{\to}{\beta} = \overset{^}{i} + 2\overset{^}{j} - 4\overset{^}{k} and \overset{\to}{\beta} = \overset{\to}{{\beta}_{1}} + \overset{\to}{{\beta}_{2}}</p><p></p><p>⇒ \overset{\to}{{\beta}_{2}} = \overset{\to}{\beta} - \overset{\to}{{\beta}_{1}} . . . . . . . . . . \left(1\right)

since β→1\overset{\to}{\beta}1 is parallel to α→\overset{\to}{\alpha}, β1→=tα→\overset{\to}{{\beta}_{1}} = t\overset{\to}{\alpha}

⇒ \overset{\to}{{\beta}_{1}} = t \left(4\overset{^}{i} + 3\overset{^}{j} + 5\overset{^}{k}\right) = 4t\overset{^}{i} + 3t\overset{^}{j} + 5t\overset{^}{k} . . . . . . . . . \left(2\right)</p><p>Substituting thevalues of\overset{\to}{{\beta}_{1}} and \overset{\to}{\alpha} in ( 1 ),weget, we get

\overset{\to}{{\beta}_{2}} = \overset{^}{i} + 2\overset{^}{j} - 4\overset{^}{k} -\left(4t\overset{^}{i} + 3t\overset{^}{j} + 5t\overset{^}{k}\right)= \left(1 - 4t\right)\overset{^}{i} + \left(2 - 3t\right)\overset{^}{j} + \left(- 4 - 5t\right)\overset{^}{k} . . . . . . . . . . . . \left(3\right)</p><p>since\overset{\to}{{\beta}_{2}}isperpendiculartois perpendicular to\overset{\to}{\alpha},so, so\overset{\to}{{\beta}_{2}} \cdot \overset{\to}{\alpha} = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ \left[(1−4t)\left(1 - 4t\right)\overset{^}{i} + \left(2 - 3t\right)\overset{^}{j} + \left(- 4 - 5t\right)\overset{^}{k}\right] \cdot \left[4\overset{^}{i} + 3\overset{^}{j} + 5\overset{^}{k}\right]=0= 0

⇒4(1−4t)⇒ 4\left(1 - 4t\right) + 3\left(2 - 3t\right)+5(−4−5t)+ 5\left(- 4 - 5t\right) = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ 4 - 16t + 6 - 9t - 20 - 25t = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ - 50t = 10⇒ t = −15</p><p>From(2)\dfrac{- 1}{5}</p><p>From \left(2\right) and \left(3\right), we getβ1→=\overset{\to}{{\beta}_{1}} =\dfrac{- 1}{5}\left(4\overset{^}{i} + 3\overset{^}{j} + 5\overset{^}{k}\right)</p><p></p><p>\overset{\to}{{\beta}_{2}} = \dfrac{9}{5}\overset{^}{i} + \dfrac{13}{5}\overset{^}{j} - 3\overset{^}{k} = \dfrac{1}{5}\left(9\overset{^}{i} + 13\overset{^}{j} - 15\overset{^}{k}\right)</p><p>So,the</p><p>So, thevalue of5\overset{\to}{\beta}2 \cdot \left(\overset{^}{i} + \overset{^}{j} + \overset{^}{k}\right) will be,</p><p></p><p>= 5 \times \dfrac{1}{5} (9\overset{^}{i} + 13\overset{^}{j} - 15\overset{^}{k} ) \cdot \left(\overset{^}{i} + \overset{^}{j} + \overset{^}{k}\right) = 9 + 13 - 15 = 7</p></p>
