Why This Question Is Tricky
Common Mistakes
This question tests the synthesis of binomial expansion for negative indices with 3D geometry, while embedding a critical domain restriction trap.
Students often attempt to solve the inverse trigonometric equation algebraically or assume standard values.
However, recognizing that is a unit vector () alongside the domain requirement of () forces a boundary condition .
This elegantly collapses the vector to a single coordinate axis projection, rewarding students who check domain constraints before algebraic manipulation.
