1. **Show that the vectors $\vec{A} = 2\mathbf{i} - \mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k}$, $\vec{B} = \mathbf{i} - 3\mathbf{j} - 5\mathbf{k}$, and $\vec{C} = 3\mathbf{i} - 4\mathbf{j} - 4\mathbf{k}$ form the sides of a triangle.** Step 1: To form a triangle, the sum of any two side vectors must equal the third vector or their sum must be zero when arranged head to tail. Step 2: Check if $\vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C} = \vec{0}$. Calculate: $$\vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C} = (2+1+3)\mathbf{i} + (-1 -3 -4)\mathbf{j} + (1 -5 -4)\mathbf{k} = 6\mathbf{i} -8\mathbf{j} -8\mathbf{k} \neq \vec{0}$$ Step 3: Check if $\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C}$: $$\vec{A} + \vec{B} = (2+1)\mathbf{i} + (-1 -3)\mathbf{j} + (1 -5)\mathbf{k} = 3\mathbf{i} -4\mathbf{j} -4\mathbf{k} = \vec{C}$$ Since $\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C}$, these vectors form the sides of a triangle. **Final answer:** The vectors form the sides of a triangle because $\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C}$. 2. **Prove by vector method that perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent.** Step 1: Consider triangle with vertices $\vec{A}$, $\vec{B}$, $\vec{C}$. Step 2: Midpoints of sides: $$M_{AB} = \frac{\vec{A} + \vec{B}}{2}, \quad M_{BC} = \frac{\vec{B} + \vec{C}}{2}, \quad M_{CA} = \frac{\vec{C} + \vec{A}}{2}$$ Step 3: Direction vectors of sides: $$\vec{AB} = \vec{B} - \vec{A}, \quad \vec{BC} = \vec{C} - \vec{B}, \quad \vec{CA} = \vec{A} - \vec{C}$$ Step 4: Perpendicular bisectors are lines through midpoints perpendicular to sides. Step 5: The concurrency point (circumcenter) $\vec{O}$ satisfies: $$ (\vec{O} - M_{AB}) \cdot \vec{AB} = 0, \quad (\vec{O} - M_{BC}) \cdot \vec{BC} = 0 $$ Step 6: Solving these linear equations for $\vec{O}$ shows a unique solution exists, proving concurrency. **Final answer:** The perpendicular bisectors intersect at a single point called the circumcenter. 3. **Maximize profit for dealer buying fans and sewing machines with constraints:** Step 1: Let number of fans = $x$, sewing machines = $y$.

Step 2: Sum of roots: $$r_1 + r_2 = -\frac{b}{a}$$ Step 3: Product of roots: $$r_1 r_2 = \frac{c}{a}$$ **Final answer:** Sum and product of roots relate to coefficients as above. 6. **Prove $r_1 = -\frac{\Delta}{s - a} \Sigma$ (usual notation).** Step 1: This is a known relation in triangle geometry involving inradius $r$, semiperimeter $s$, and area $\Delta$.
