Question
If $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ are two non-collinear unit vectors such that $\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|=\sqrt{3},$ find $\big(2\vec{\text{a}}-5\vec{\text{b}}\big).\big(3\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big).$

Answer

Given
$\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ are unit vectors
then, $|\vec{\text{a}}|=\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|=1$
$\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|=\sqrt{3}$
Squaring both the sides,
$\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2=(\sqrt{3})^2$
$|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2+2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=3$
$1+1+2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=3$
$2+2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=3$
$2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=3-2$
$2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=1$
$2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=\frac{1}{2}$

Vitamins $A$ and $B$ are found in two different foods $F_1$ and $F_2$. One unit of food $F_1$ contains 2 units of vitamin $A$ and 3 units of vitamin $B$. One unit of food $F_2$ contains 4 units of vitamin $A$ and 2 units of vitamin $B$. One unit of food $F_1$ and $F_2$ cost Rs 50 and 25 respectively. The minimum daily requirements for a person of vitamin $A$ and $B$ is 40 and 50 units respectively. Assuming that anything in excess of daily minimum requirement of vitamin $A$ and $B$ is not harmful, find out the optimum mixture of food $\mathrm{F}_1$ and $\mathrm{F}_2$ at the minimum cost which meets the daily minimum requirement of vitamin A and B . Formulate this as a LPP.
