The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \lambda^3 + \mu^3 + 5 \) given that the median through point A is equally inclined to the coordinate axes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: We have the vertices of triangle ABC as: - \( A(2, 3, 5) \) - \( B(-1, 3, 2) \) - \( C(\lambda, 5, \mu) \) 2. **Find the Midpoint of BC**: The midpoint \( M \) of line segment \( BC \) can be calculated using the midpoint formula: \[ M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2} \right) \] Substituting the coordinates of B and C: \[ M = \left( \frac{-1 + \lambda}{2}, \frac{3 + 5}{2}, \frac{2 + \mu}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{-1 + \lambda}{2}, 4, \frac{2 + \mu}{2} \right) \] 3. **Find the Direction Ratios of AM**: The direction ratios of line segment \( AM \) can be found by subtracting the coordinates of A from M: \[ AM = \left( \frac{-1 + \lambda}{2} - 2, 4 - 3, \frac{2 + \mu}{2} - 5 \right) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ AM = \left( \frac{\lambda - 5}{2}, 1, \frac{\mu - 8}{2} \right) \] 4. **Condition for Equal Inclination**: Since the median \( AM \) is equally inclined to the coordinate axes, the direction ratios must be proportional to \( (1, 1, 1) \). Therefore, we can set: \[ \frac{\lambda - 5}{2} = k, \quad 1 = k, \quad \frac{\mu - 8}{2} = k \] where \( k \) is some constant. 5. **Solve for \( \lambda \) and \( \mu \)**: From \( k = 1 \): - For \( \lambda \): \[ \frac{\lambda - 5}{2} = 1 \implies \lambda - 5 = 2 \implies \lambda = 7 \] - For \( \mu \): \[ \frac{\mu - 8}{2} = 1 \implies \mu - 8 = 2 \implies \mu = 10 \] 6. **Calculate \( \lambda^3 + \mu^3 + 5 \)**: Now we can calculate: \[ \lambda^3 = 7^3 = 343, \quad \mu^3 = 10^3 = 1000 \] Therefore: \[ \lambda^3 + \mu^3 + 5 = 343 + 1000 + 5 = 1348 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( \lambda^3 + \mu^3 + 5 \) is \( \boxed{1348} \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \lambda^3 + \mu^3 + 5 \) given that the median through point A is equally inclined to the coordinate axes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: We have the vertices of triangle ABC as: - \( A(2, 3, 5) \) - \( B(-1, 3, 2) \) ...
