Let <span class="math-tex">\(\rm \vec{a}=\hat{j}-\hat{k}\)</span> and <span class="math-tex">\(\rm \vec{c}= \hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k}\)</span>. Then the vector <span class="math-tex">\(\rm \vec{b}\)</span> satisfying <span class="math-tex">\(\rm (\vec{a}\times \vec{b})+\vec{c}=0\)</span> and <span class="math-tex">\(\rm \vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}=3\)</span>, is Step-by-step Solution: Multiplying by \( b \) in the given relation, we have:
\[
b \cdot (a \times b) + b \cdot c = 0 \implies b \cdot c = 0
\]
Also given that \( a \cdot b = 3 \), suppose:
\[
b = x \, \mathbf{i} + y \, \mathbf{j} + z \, \mathbf{k}
\]
Thus:
\[
y - z = 3 \quad \text{and} \quad x - y - z = 0
\]
From these equations:
\[
x = 2z + 3, \quad y = z + 3
\]
So the vector:
\[
b = (2z + 3) \, \mathbf{i} + (z + 3) \, \mathbf{j} + z \, \mathbf{k}
\]
Now, again from the relation \((a \times b) + c = 0\), we get:
\[
z = -2
\]
Thus, the vector:
\[
b = -\mathbf{i} + \mathbf{j} - 2 \mathbf{k}
