The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the coordinates of point C given points A and B, and the condition that \(2AB = BC\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Points A and B**: - Given \( A = (1, 2, 3) \) - Given \( B = (2, 3, 4) \) 2. **Calculate the Vector AB**: - The vector \( \overrightarrow{AB} \) can be calculated as: \[ \overrightarrow{AB} = B - A = (2 - 1, 3 - 2, 4 - 3) = (1, 1, 1) \] 3. **Determine the Length of Vector AB**: - The length of vector \( \overrightarrow{AB} \) is: \[ |\overrightarrow{AB}| = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (1)^2 + (1)^2} = \sqrt{3} \] 4. **Calculate the Vector BC**: - According to the problem, \( 2AB = BC \). Therefore, the vector \( \overrightarrow{BC} \) can be expressed as: \[ \overrightarrow{BC} = 2 \cdot \overrightarrow{AB} = 2 \cdot (1, 1, 1) = (2, 2, 2) \] 5. **Find Coordinates of Point C**: - Since \( C \) is produced from \( B \) in the direction of \( \overrightarrow{BC} \), we can find the coordinates of \( C \) as follows: \[ C = B + \overrightarrow{BC} = (2, 3, 4) + (2, 2, 2) = (2 + 2, 3 + 2, 4 + 2) = (4, 5, 6) \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the coordinates of point \( C \) are: \[ C = (4, 5, 6) \]
