The set of value of xx for which the angle between the a⃗=2x2i^+4xj^+k^\vec{a} = 2x^2\hat{i} + 4x\hat{j} + \hat{k} and b⃗=7i^−2j^+xk^\vec{b} = 7\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + x\hat{k} is obtuse is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

For obtuse angle, a⃗⋅b⃗<0\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} < 0.

a⃗⋅b⃗=14x2−8x+x=14x2−7x=7x(2x−1)\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 14x^2 - 8x + x = 14x^2 - 7x = 7x(2x-1).

7x(2x−1)<0⇒0<x<127x(2x-1) < 0 \Rightarrow 0 < x < \frac{1}{2}.
