The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the distances \( d_1, d_2, d_3, d_4, d_5, \) and \( d_6 \) for the point \((-1, 2, 3)\) from the axes and planes, and then calculate the sum of these distances. ### Step 1: Calculate \( d_1 \) (Distance from the x-axis) The distance from a point \((x, y, z)\) to the x-axis is given by the formula: \[ d_1 = \sqrt{y^2 + z^2} \] For the point \((-1, 2, 3)\): \[ d_1 = \sqrt{2^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} \] ### Step 2: Calculate \( d_2 \) (Distance from the y-axis) The distance from a point \((x, y, z)\) to the y-axis is given by: \[ d_2 = \sqrt{x^2 + z^2} \] For the point \((-1, 2, 3)\): \[ d_2 = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{1 + 9} = \sqrt{10} \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( d_3 \) (Distance from the z-axis) The distance from a point \((x, y, z)\) to the z-axis is given by: \[ d_3 = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \] For the point \((-1, 2, 3)\): \[ d_3 = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4} = \sqrt{5} \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( d_4 \) (Distance from the xy-plane) The distance from a point \((x, y, z)\) to the xy-plane is simply the absolute value of the z-coordinate: \[ d_4 = |z| = |3| = 3 \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( d_5 \) (Distance from the yz-plane) The distance from a point \((x, y, z)\) to the yz-plane is simply the absolute value of the x-coordinate: \[ d_5 = |x| = |-1| = 1 \] ### Step 6: Calculate \( d_6 \) (Distance from the zx-plane) The distance from a point \((x, y, z)\) to the zx-plane is simply the absolute value of the y-coordinate: \[ d_6 = |y| = |2| = 2 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the sum of all distances Now we can sum all the distances: \[ \text{Sum} = d_1 + d_2 + d_3 + d_4 + d_5 + d_6 \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ \text{Sum} = \sqrt{13} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{5} + 3 + 1 + 2 \] \[ \text{Sum} = \sqrt{13} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{5} + 6 \] Thus, the value of \( \sum_{i=1}^{6} d_i \) is: \[ \sqrt{13} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{5} + 6 \]
