The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the coordinates of a point on the line given by the equation \[ \frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y+1}{-3} = z \] that is at a distance of \(4\sqrt{14}\) from the point \((1, -1, 0)\). ### Step 1: Parameterize the line We can express the coordinates of any point on the line in terms of a parameter \( \lambda \). From the equation of the line, we can write: \[ x = 2\lambda + 1 \] \[ y = -3\lambda - 1 \] \[ z = \lambda \] ### Step 2: Write the distance formula The distance \(d\) between the point \((x, y, z)\) on the line and the point \((1, -1, 0)\) is given by: \[ d = \sqrt{(x - 1)^2 + (y + 1)^2 + (z - 0)^2} \] Substituting the expressions for \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\): \[ d = \sqrt{((2\lambda + 1) - 1)^2 + ((-3\lambda - 1) + 1)^2 + (\lambda - 0)^2} \] This simplifies to: \[ d = \sqrt{(2\lambda)^2 + (-3\lambda)^2 + \lambda^2} \] ### Step 3: Set the distance equal to \(4\sqrt{14}\) We know the distance is \(4\sqrt{14}\), so we set up the equation: \[ \sqrt{(2\lambda)^2 + (-3\lambda)^2 + \lambda^2} = 4\sqrt{14} \] Squaring both sides gives: \[ (2\lambda)^2 + (-3\lambda)^2 + \lambda^2 = (4\sqrt{14})^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4\lambda^2 + 9\lambda^2 + \lambda^2 = 16 \times 14 \] \[ 14\lambda^2 = 224 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(\lambda\) Dividing both sides by 14: \[ \lambda^2 = 16 \] Taking the square root: \[ \lambda = 4 \quad \text{or} \quad \lambda = -4 \] ### Step 5: Find the coordinates for both values of \(\lambda\) 1. For \(\lambda = 4\): \[ x = 2(4) + 1 = 9 \] \[ y = -3(4) - 1 = -13 \] \[ z = 4 \] Thus, one point is \((9, -13, 4)\). 2. For \(\lambda = -4\): \[ x = 2(-4) + 1 = -7 \] \[ y = -3(-4) - 1 = 11 \] \[ z = -4 \] Thus, the other point is \((-7, 11, -4)\). ### Final Answer The coordinates of the points on the line at a distance \(4\sqrt{14}\) from the point \((1, -1, 0)\) are: \[ (9, -13, 4) \quad \text{and} \quad (-7, 11, -4) \]
