Given plane vectors , if , then .
Solution
To solve this problem, we start by understanding that two vectors are perpendicular (denoted by ) if their dot product equals zero. Given vectors and , we are told that . This means we need to find the value of that satisfies this condition.
First, let's calculate :
\begin{align*}
\overrightarrow{a}+2\overrightarrow{b} &= ({1,2})+2\cdot({-2,1}) \\
&= ({1,2})+({-4,2}) \\
&= ({1-4,2+2}) \\
&= ({-3,4}).
\end{align*}
Given that , we apply the condition for perpendicularity, which is the dot product equals zero:
\begin{align*}
\overrightarrow{a}+2\overrightarrow{b} \cdot \overrightarrow{c} &= 0 \\
({-3,4}) \cdot ({2,t}) &= 0 \\
-3\cdot 2 + 4\cdot t &= 0 \\
-6 + 4t &= 0.
\end{align*}
Solving for :
\begin{align*}
4t &= 6 \\
t &= \frac{6}{4} \\
t &= \frac{3}{2}.
\end{align*}
Therefore, the value of that satisfies the given condition is .
