Expert's answer

Answer on Question #46185 - Math - Vector Calculus

Find co-ordinates of the points on the line (x+2)/3=(y+1)/2=(z3)/2(x+2)/3 = (y+1)/2 = (z-3)/2 at a distance 323\sqrt{2} from the point (1,2,3)(1, 2, 3)

Solution.

(x,y,z)(x', y', z') - point that we want to find.

Distance between points (x,y,z)(x', y', z') and (1,2,3)(1,2,3) :


(x1)2+(y2)2+(z3)2=32\sqrt{(x' - 1)^2 + (y' - 2)^2 + (z' - 3)^2} = 3\sqrt{2}


Then


(x1)2+(y2)2+(z3)2=18(x' - 1)^2 + (y' - 2)^2 + (z' - 3)^2 = 18


Point (x,y,z)(x', y', z') must satisfy the equation of the line, that why


x+23=y+12=z32\frac{x' + 2}{3} = \frac{y' + 1}{2} = \frac{z' - 3}{2}


So we have system of equations
