    If aˉ=2i^−j^+k^\bar{a} = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}, bˉ=i^+3j^−k^\bar{b} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - \hat{k}, cˉ=−2i^+j^−3k^\bar{c} = -2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 3\hat{k} and dˉ=3i^+2j^+5k^\bar{d} = 3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}, then the value of x2+z2−yx^2 + z^2 - y is ⋯\cdots, where dˉ=xaˉ+ybˉ+zcˉ\bar{d} = x\bar{a} + y\bar{b} + z\bar{c}
