Correct answer: 1494

  1. Let a⃗=(2,−1,2),b⃗=(1,2,−1).\vec a=(2,-1,2),\qquad \vec b=(1,2,-1).a=(2,−1,2),b=(1,2,−1). Since v⃗\vec vv lies in the plane containing a⃗\vec aa and b⃗\vec bb, write v⃗=xa⃗+yb⃗.\vec v=x\vec a+y\vec b.v=xa+yb. So, v⃗=x(2,−1,2)+y(1,2,−1)=(2x+y,−x+2y,2x−y).\vec v=x(2,-1,2)+y(1,2,-1)=(2x+y,-x+2y,2x-y).v=x(2,−1,2)+y(1,2,−1)=(2x+y,−x+2y,2x−y).

  2. Given that v⃗\vec vv is perpendicular to (3,2,−1)(3,2,-1)(3,2,−1), so v⃗⋅(3,2,−1)=0.\vec v\cdot (3,2,-1)=0.v⋅(3,2,−1)=0. Substitute v⃗\vec vv: 3(2x+y)+2(−x+2y)−(2x−y)=0.3(2x+y)+2(-x+2y)-(2x-y)=0.3(2x+y)+2(−x+2y)−(2x−y)=0. Simplify: 6x+3y−2x+4y−2x+y=06x+3y-2x+4y-2x+y=06x+3y−2x+4y−2x+y=0 2x+8y=02x+8y=02x+8y=0 x+4y=0  ⟹  x=−4y.x+4y=0\implies x=-4y.x+4y=0⟹x=−4y.

  3. The projection of v⃗\vec vv on a⃗\vec aa is 191919 units. Scalar projection is v⃗⋅a⃗∣a⃗∣=19.\frac{\vec v\cdot \vec a}{|\vec a|}=19.∣a∣v⋅a​=19. Now, ∣a⃗∣=22+(−1)2+22=9=3.|\vec a|=\sqrt{2^2+(-1)^2+2^2}=\sqrt{9}=3.∣a∣=22+(−1)2+22​=9​=3. Hence, v⃗⋅a⃗=57.\vec v\cdot \vec a=57.v⋅a=57.

Now compute v⃗⋅a⃗\vec v\cdot \vec av⋅a using v⃗=xa⃗+yb⃗\vec v=x\vec a+y\vec bv=xa+yb: v⃗⋅a⃗=x(a⃗⋅a⃗)+y(b⃗⋅a⃗).\vec v\cdot \vec a=x(\vec a\cdot \vec a)+y(\vec b\cdot \vec a).v⋅a=x(a⋅a)+y(b⋅a). We have a⃗⋅a⃗=9,\vec a\cdot \vec a=9,a⋅a=9, a⃗⋅b⃗=2(1)+(−1)(2)+2(−1)=2−2−2=−2.\vec a\cdot \vec b=2(1)+(-1)(2)+2(-1)=2-2-2=-2.a⋅b=2(1)+(−1)(2)+2(−1)=2−2−2=−2. Thus, 9x−2y=57.9x-2y=57.9x−2y=57. Using x=−4yx=-4yx=−4y, 9(−4y)−2y=579(-4y)-2y=579(−4y)−2y=57 −36y−2y=57-36y-2y=57−36y−2y=57 −38y=57-38y=57−38y=57 y=−32,x=6.y=-\frac{3}{2},\qquad x=6.y=−23​,x=6.

  1. Therefore, v⃗=6a⃗−32b⃗.\vec v=6\vec a-\frac{3}{2}\vec b.v=6a−23​b. Compute coordinates: v⃗=6(2,−1,2)−32(1,2,−1)\vec v=6(2,-1,2)-\frac{3}{2}(1,2,-1)v=6(2,−1,2)−23​(1,2,−1) =(12,−6,12)−(32,3,−32)=(12,-6,12)-\left(\frac32,3,-\frac32\right)=(12,−6,12)−(23​,3,−23​) =(212,−9,272).=\left(\frac{21}{2},-9,\frac{27}{2}\right).=(221​,−9,227​).

  2. Now find ∣v⃗∣2|\vec v|^2∣v∣2: ∣v⃗∣2=(212)2+(−9)2+(272)2|\vec v|^2=\left(\frac{21}{2}\right)^2+(-9)^2+\left(\frac{27}{2}\right)^2∣v∣2=(221​)2+(−9)2+(227​)2 =4414+81+7294=\frac{441}{4}+81+\frac{729}{4}=4441​+81+4729​ =11704+81=\frac{1170}{4}+81=41170​+81 =5852+81=\frac{585}{2}+81=2585​+81 =7472.=\frac{747}{2}.=2747​.

  3. We need ∣2v⃗∣2=4∣v⃗∣2=4⋅7472=1494.|2\vec v|^2=4|\vec v|^2=4\cdot \frac{747}{2}=1494.∣2v∣2=4∣v∣2=4⋅2747​=1494.

Therefore, the required integer is 1494.\boxed{1494}.1494​.
