The correct Answer is:
To find the vector \(\vec{PQ}\) from point \(P(0, 3, -2)\) to point \(Q(3, 7, -1)\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of points P and Q - Point \(P\) has coordinates \((x_1, y_1, z_1) = (0, 3, -2)\) - Point \(Q\) has coordinates \((x_2, y_2, z_2) = (3, 7, -1)\) ### Step 2: Use the formula for the vector \(\vec{PQ}\) The vector \(\vec{PQ}\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \vec{PQ} = (x_2 - x_1) \hat{i} + (y_2 - y_1) \hat{j} + (z_2 - z_1) \hat{k} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the coordinates into the formula Now, we will substitute the coordinates of points \(P\) and \(Q\) into the formula: - \(x_2 - x_1 = 3 - 0 = 3\) - \(y_2 - y_1 = 7 - 3 = 4\) - \(z_2 - z_1 = -1 - (-2) = -1 + 2 = 1\) ### Step 4: Write the vector \(\vec{PQ}\) Now, substituting these values into the vector formula: \[ \vec{PQ} = 3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 1 \hat{k} \] ### Step 5: Final answer Thus, the vector \(\vec{PQ}\) is: \[ \vec{PQ} = 3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 1 \hat{k} \] ---
