Question 22 NECO • 2025 • FURTHER_MATHEMATICS • objective

The vectors \(\mathbf{a},\mathbf{b},\mathbf{c}\) in three‑dimensional space satisfy \(|\mathbf{a}|=3\), \(|\mathbf{b}|=4\), \(|\mathbf{c}|=5\), \(\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b}=6\) and \(\mathbf{b}\cdot\mathbf{c}=8\). It is also given that \(\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b}+\mathbf{c}\) is orthogonal to \(\mathbf{a}\).\n\n(a) Find the value of \(\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{c}\).\n(b) Let \(\mathbf{d}= \mathbf{a}+2\mathbf{b}\). Determine the magnitude \(|\mathbf{d}|\) and the angle between \(\mathbf{d}\) and \(\mathbf{c}\) (to one decimal place in degrees).

Answer Options

A. |\\d| = \\sqrt{101}, angle \\approx 90.0^{\\circ}
B. |\\d| = \\sqrt{105}, angle \\approx 80.5^{\\circ}
C. |\\d| = \\sqrt{89}, angle \\approx 85.0^{\\circ}
Correct Answer D. |\d| = \sqrt{97}, angle \approx 88.8^{\circ}
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
|\d| = \sqrt{97}, angle \approx 88.8^{\circ}
