Application +4 | -1

\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}

are three vectors, such that

\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b}+\mathbf{c}=0,|\mathbf{a}|=1

|\mathbf{b}|=2,|\mathbf{c}|=3

, then

\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}+\mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{c}+\mathbf{c} \cdot \mathbf{a}

is equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

-7

Option B (-7) is correct because squaring the equation

\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c} = 0

and using the given magnitudes leads to

\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} + \mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{c} + \mathbf{c} \cdot \mathbf{a} = -7
