Correct answer: 3
-
Let |\vec a|=a, \qquad |\vec b|=b and the angle between them be , where
-
Use the magnitude formulas: |\vec a+\vec b|^2=a^2+b^2+2ab\cos\theta, |\vec a-\vec b|^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos\theta.
-
Given |\vec a+\vec b|=\sqrt{2}\vec a-\vec b, so on squaring both sides, |\vec a+\vec b|^2=2|\vec a-\vec b|^2.
Substitute the formulas:
-
Now put :
Bring all terms to one side:
So,
-
Given , substitute:
Divide by :
-
Solve the quadratic:
Factorize:
Hence,
-
Since the question asks for the integer value of , the only integer solution is
