List of top Mathematics Questions on Vectors

Given the vectors: \[ \mathbf{a} = i + 3j - k, \quad \mathbf{b} = 3i - j + 2k, \quad \mathbf{c} = i + 2j - 2k \] and the following information: \[ \frac{\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}}{|\mathbf{c}|} = \frac{10}{3} \] Find the value of \( \alpha + \beta \) and the projection of \( \mathbf{a} \) on \( \mathbf{c} \).

Let \( \mathbf{a} \), \( \mathbf{b} \), and \( \mathbf{c} \) be vectors of magnitude 2, 3, and 4 respectively. If: - \( \mathbf{a} \) is perpendicular to \( (\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c}) \), - \( \mathbf{b} \) is perpendicular to \( (\mathbf{c} + \mathbf{a}) \), - \( \mathbf{c} \) is perpendicular to \( (\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}) \), then the magnitude of \( \mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c} \) is equal to:
