HIMPUNAN VEKTOR KEBALIKAN

Himpunan vektor a⃗ , b⃗ , c⃗ dan a⃗ ' , b⃗ ' , c⃗ ' disebut himpunan atau system vektor-vektor
kebalikan dari vektor, jika :

a⃗ ⋅ a⃗ ' =⃗b ⋅ ⃗b' = ⃗c ⋅ c⃗ ' =1

a⃗ ' ⋅ ⃗b=⃗a' ⋅ ⃗c =b⃗' ⋅ ⃗a =⃗b' ⋅ ⃗c =⃗c ' ⋅ a⃗ =c⃗ ' ⋅ ⃗b=0

Himpunan a⃗ , b⃗ , c⃗ dan a⃗ ' , b⃗ ' , c⃗ ' merupakan himpunan vektor-vektor kebalikan, jika
dan hanya jika :

⃗b × c⃗ c⃗ × ⃗a a⃗ × ⃗b
a⃗ ' = b⃗ ' = ⃗ c⃗ ' =
a⃗ ⋅ b⃗ × ⃗c a⃗ ⋅ b × ⃗c ⃗a ⋅ ⃗b × ⃗c

Dimana : a⃗ ⋅ b⃗ × ⃗c ≠ 0

Contoh Soal

A ⋅⃗
1) Buktikan ⃗ B ⋅⃗
B= ⃗ A ?
Jawab :
A ⋅⃗
⃗ B= AB cos θ
¿ B A cos θ
B⋅ ⃗
¿⃗ A
Jadi, hukum komutatif berlaku untuk hasil kali titik.

2) Buktikan a⃗ × [ ⃗a × ( ⃗a × b⃗ ) ]=( a⃗ ⋅ a⃗ )( b⃗ × ⃗a ) ?
Jawab :
Ambillah c⃗ =⃗a × ⃗b
Maka, ruas kiri berbentuk :
a⃗ × [ ⃗a × ⃗c ] =( ⃗a ⋅ c⃗ ) ⃗a− ( ⃗a ⋅ ⃗a ) ⃗c
¿ [ ⃗a ⋅ ( a⃗ × ⃗b ) ⃗a ]−[ ( a⃗ ⋅ ⃗a )( ⃗a × ⃗b ) ]
¿ 0 ( ⃗a ) −( ⃗a ⋅ ⃗a ) ( ⃗a × b⃗ )
¿ ( ⃗a ⋅ a⃗ )( b⃗ × ⃗a )
