To find the shortest distance between the two lines given by their vector equations, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the vector equations in standard form The vector equations of the lines are given as: 1. \( \vec{r_1} = (1 - \lambda) \hat{i} + (-2\lambda - 2) \hat{j} + (3 - 2\lambda) \hat{k} \) 2. \( \vec{r_2} = (1 + \mu) \hat{i} + (2\mu - 1) \hat{j} + (-1 + 2\mu) \hat{k} \) We can express these in the standard form \( \vec{r} = \vec{a} + \lambda \vec{b} \), where \( \vec{a} \) is a point on the line and \( \vec{b} \) is the direction vector. ...
