Here are the solutions to your questions:

1. Find the angle between the vectors a⃗=2i⃗+2j⃗−k⃗\vec{a} = 2\vec{i} + 2\vec{j} - \vec{k} and b⃗=6i⃗−3j⃗+2k⃗\vec{b} = 6\vec{i} - 3\vec{j} + 2\vec{k}.

To find the angle θ\theta between two vectors, we use the formula cos⁡θ=a⃗⋅b⃗∣a⃗∣∣b⃗∣\cos\theta = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}| |\vec{b}|}.

  1. Calculate the dot product a⃗⋅b⃗\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}.

    a⃗⋅b⃗=(2)(6)+(2)(−3)+(−1)(2)\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (2)(6) + (2)(-3) + (-1)(2) =12−6−2= 12 - 6 - 2 =4= 4
  2. Calculate the magnitude of a⃗\vec{a}.

    ∣a⃗∣=(2)2+(2)2+(−1)2|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (2)^2 + (-1)^2} =4+4+1= \sqrt{4 + 4 + 1} =9= \sqrt{9} =3= 3
  3. Calculate the magnitude of b⃗\vec{b}.

    ∣b⃗∣=(6)2+(−3)2+(2)2|\vec{b}| = \sqrt{(6)^2 + (-3)^2 + (2)^2} =36+9+4= \sqrt{36 + 9 + 4} =49= \sqrt{49} =7= 7
  4. Calculate cos⁡θ\cos\theta and then θ\theta.

    cos⁡θ=4(3)(7)\cos\theta = \frac{4}{(3)(7)} cos⁡θ=421\cos\theta = \frac{4}{21} θ=arccos⁡(421)\theta = \arccos\left(\frac{4}{21}\right)

    The angle between the vectors is arccos⁡(421)\boxed{\arccos\left(\frac{4}{21}\right)}.

    2. Find the projection of the vector a⃗=2i⃗−3j⃗+6k⃗\vec{a} = 2\vec{i} - 3\vec{j} + 6\vec{k} on the vector b⃗=i⃗+2j⃗+2k⃗\vec{b} = \vec{i} + 2\vec{j} + 2\vec{k}.

    The scalar projection of vector a⃗\vec{a} onto vector b⃗\vec{b} is given by the formula compb⃗a⃗=a⃗⋅b⃗∣b⃗∣\text{comp}_{\vec{b}}\vec{a} = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|}.

  5. Calculate the dot product a⃗⋅b⃗\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}.

    a⃗⋅b⃗=(2)(1)+(−3)(2)+(6)(2)\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (2)(1) + (-3)(2) + (6)(2) =2−6+12= 2 - 6 + 12 =8= 8
  6. Calculate the magnitude of b⃗\vec{b}.

    ∣b⃗∣=(1)2+(2)2+(2)2|\vec{b}| = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (2)^2 + (2)^2} =1+4+4= \sqrt{1 + 4 + 4} =9= \sqrt{9} =3= 3
  7. Calculate the scalar projection.

    compb⃗a⃗=83\text{comp}_{\vec{b}}\vec{a} = \frac{8}{3}

    The projection of a⃗\vec{a} on b⃗\vec{b} is 83\boxed{\frac{8}{3}}.

    3. Find the area of the parallelogram whose adjacent sides are given by the vectors a⃗=3i⃗+j⃗+4k⃗\vec{a} = 3\vec{i} + \vec{j} + 4\vec{k} and b⃗=i⃗−j⃗+k⃗\vec{b} = \vec{i} - \vec{j} + \vec{k}.

    The area of a parallelogram with adjacent sides a⃗\vec{a} and b⃗\vec{b} is given by the magnitude of their cross product, ∣a⃗×b⃗∣|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|.

  8. Calculate the cross product a⃗×b⃗\vec{a} \times \vec{b}.

    a⃗×b⃗=∣i⃗j⃗k⃗3141−11∣\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \begin{vmatrix} \vec{i} & \vec{j} & \vec{k} \\ 3 & 1 & 4 \\ 1 & -1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} =i⃗((1)(1)−(4)(−1))−j⃗((3)(1)−(4)(1))+k⃗((3)(−1)−(1)(1))= \vec{i}((1)(1) - (4)(-1)) - \vec{j}((3)(1) - (4)(1)) + \vec{k}((3)(-1) - (1)(1)) =i⃗(1−(−4))−j⃗(3−4)+k⃗(−3−1)= \vec{i}(1 - (-4)) - \vec{j}(3 - 4) + \vec{k}(-3 - 1) =i⃗(5)−j⃗(−1)+k⃗(−4)= \vec{i}(5) - \vec{j}(-1) + \vec{k}(-4) =5i⃗+j⃗−4k⃗= 5\vec{i} + \vec{j} - 4\vec{k}
  9. Calculate the magnitude of a⃗×b⃗\vec{a} \times \vec{b}.

    ∣a⃗×b⃗∣=(5)2+(1)2+(−4)2|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (1)^2 + (-4)^2} =25+1+16= \sqrt{25 + 1 + 16} =42= \sqrt{42}

    The area of the parallelogram is 42 square units\boxed{\sqrt{42} \text{ square units}}.

    4. Find the area of the triangle whose adjacent sides are given by the vectors a⃗=3i⃗+j⃗+4k⃗\vec{a} = 3\vec{i} + \vec{j} + 4\vec{k} and b⃗=i⃗−j⃗+k⃗\vec{b} = \vec{i} - \vec{j} + \vec{k}.

    The area of a triangle with adjacent sides a⃗\vec{a} and b⃗\vec{b} is half the magnitude of their cross product, 12∣a⃗×b⃗∣\frac{1}{2}|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|. We already calculated a⃗×b⃗\vec{a} \times \vec{b} and its magnitude in Question 3.

  10. Use the magnitude of the cross product from Question 3.

    ∣a⃗×b⃗∣=42|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = \sqrt{42}
  11. Calculate the area of the triangle.

    Area=12∣a⃗×b⃗∣\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| Area=1242\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{42}

    The area of the triangle is 422 square units\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{42}}{2} \text{ square units}}.
