To show that the three lines with the given direction cosines are mutually perpendicular, we need to verify that the dot product of each pair of direction vectors is zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Direction Cosines:** - Let the first direction cosine vector \( \mathbf{a} = \left( \frac{12}{13}, -\frac{3}{13}, -\frac{4}{13} \right) \) - Let the second direction cosine vector \( \mathbf{b} = \left( \frac{4}{13}, \frac{12}{13}, \frac{3}{13} \right) \) - Let the third direction cosine vector \( \mathbf{c} = \left( \frac{3}{13}, -\frac{4}{13}, \frac{12}{13} \right) \) ...
