So, (αi + 2j + βk).(i - j + k) = 0
=> α + β = 2
a bisect the angle between b and c
So a = (λ/) (b + c)
=> a = (λ/) (i+2j+k)
=> (αi + 2j + βk) = (λ/) (i+2j+k)
=> So, λ =

The conjugate of a complex number is given by changing the sign of the imaginary part.
For example: conjugate of a complex number a+ib is a-ib
z = 1/(i-1) = (i+1)/((i-1)(i+1)) = (i+1)/(-2) = -1/2-i/2
So conjugate complex number = -1/2+i/2 = (i-1)/2
So conjugate complex number = ((i-1)(i+1))/(2(i+1)) = -2/2((i+1)) = -1/(i+1)

Let α and β are roots of: x2 - 6x + a = 0
Let α and γ are roots of: x2 - cx + 6 = 0
So, α + β = 6 ........ (i)

α + γ = c ........ (iii)
α.γ = 6 ........ (iv)

β/γ = 4/3 ........ (v)

Now using (ii) and (iii)
