Question
junior college 1 | H2 Maths
One Answer Below
Anyone can contribute an answer, even non-tutors.
Having trouble with part c and d
r = (2 - t)i - j + tk, t ∈ R
So
r = (2-t -1 t)
r = (2 -1 0) + t(-1 0 1)
This line is parallel to (-1 0 1)
So the line you want to find is also parallel to (-1 0 1)
(3 1 4) is a point on the line.
So the equation of the line can be :
r = (3 1 4) + λ(-1 0 1), λ ∈ R
i.e they intersect there.
Since the line of interest is perpendicular to both of these lines, it means that the line is also parallel to the cross product of those two lines.
So just find their cross product.
