Question:
If \(|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|=|\vec{a}|+|\vec{b}|\) where \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are any vectots, then this equality
Options:
always holds
never holds
holds only when \(\vec{a}=k\vec{b}\) or one of \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is zero
holds only \(\vec{a}=\vec{b}=0\)
Correct Answer:
holds only when \(\vec{a}=k\vec{b}\) or one of \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is zero
Explanation:
\(|\vec{A}+\vec{b}|=|\vec{a}|+|\vec{b}|\) thus \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are scalar multiple of each other so \(\vec{a}=k\vec{b}\)
