Complete Solution:

Since β1 is parallel to α, we can write it as:

β1 = λα

where λ is a scalar. To find λ, we use the projection of β onto α:

β1 = (β ⋅ α / |α|2) α

Calculate β ⋅ α:

β ⋅ α = (1)(4) + (2)(3) + (-4)(5) = 4 + 6 - 20 = -10

Calculate |α|2:

|α|2 = 42 + 32 + 52 = 16 + 9 + 25 = 50

Substitute values for β1:

β1 = (-10 / 50) α = -1/5 α

Using α = 4i + 3j + 5k:

β1 = -4/5 i - 3/5 j - k

Since β = β1 + β2, we can write:

β2 = β - β1

Substitute β = i + 2j - 4k and β1 = -4/5 i - 3/5 j - k:

β2 = (i + 2j - 4k) - (-4/5 i - 3/5 j - k)

= 9/5 i + 13/5 j - 3k

Multiply β2 by 5:

2 = 9i + 13j - 15k

Dot product with (i + j + k):

2 ⋅ (i + j + k) = (9)(1) + (13)(1) + (-15)(1)

= 9 + 13 - 15 = 7

Final Answer:

2 ⋅ (i + j + k) = 7
