Let be distinct non-negative numbers. If the vectors , and lie in a plane, then is:
- AThe arithmetic mean of and
- BThe geometric mean of and
- CThe harmonic mean of and
- DEqual to zero
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Three vectors are coplanar if their scalar triple product is zero.
Expanding along the second row:
This means is the geometric mean of and .
Expanding along the second row:
This means is the geometric mean of and .
