Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Given: \(\vec{a} + \vec{b} = \hat{i}\) and \(\vec{a} = 2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}\)
  2. We need to find \(\vec{b}\). From the given equation, \(\vec{b} = \hat{i} - \vec{a}\)
  3. Substitute the value of \(\vec{a}\): \(\vec{b} = \hat{i} - (2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k})\)
  4. Simplify: \(\vec{b} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 2\hat{k} = -\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}\)
  5. Now, find the magnitude of \(\vec{b}\): \(|\vec{b}| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (2)^2 + (-2)^2}\)
  6. Calculate: \(|\vec{b}| = \sqrt{1 + 4 + 4} = \sqrt{9} = 3\)
