Question
$\text{Find} \lambda, \text{if the vectors} \overrightarrow{\text{a}} = \hat{\text{i}} + 3\hat{\text{j}} + \hat{\text{k}}, \overrightarrow{\text{b}} = 2\hat{\text{i}} - \hat{\text{j}} - \hat{\text{k}}$ $\text{and} \overrightarrow{\text{c}} = \lambda \hat{\text{j}} + 3\hat{\text{k}} $ $\text{are coplanar}.$

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix} 1 & 3 & 1 \\ 2 & -1 & -1 \\ 0 & \lambda & 3 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = 7 $
