The correct Answer is:
To find the distance of the point \( B(1i + 2j + 3k) \) from the line passing through the point \( A(4i + 2j + 2k) \) and parallel to the vector \( \vec{C} = 2i + 3j + 6k \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Points and Vectors - Point \( A = (4, 2, 2) \) - Point \( B = (1, 2, 3) \) - Direction vector of the line \( \vec{C} = (2, 3, 6) \) ### Step 2: Find the Vector \( \vec{AB} \) The vector \( \vec{AB} \) can be calculated as: \[ \vec{AB} = B - A = (1 - 4)i + (2 - 2)j + (3 - 2)k = -3i + 0j + 1k = -3i + k \] ### Step 3: Find the Projection of \( \vec{AB} \) onto \( \vec{C} \) To find the projection of \( \vec{AB} \) onto \( \vec{C} \), we use the formula: \[ \text{proj}_{\vec{C}} \vec{AB} = \frac{\vec{AB} \cdot \vec{C}}{\|\vec{C}\|^2} \vec{C} \] First, calculate \( \vec{AB} \cdot \vec{C} \): \[ \vec{AB} \cdot \vec{C} = (-3)(2) + (0)(3) + (1)(6) = -6 + 0 + 6 = 0 \] Next, calculate the magnitude of \( \vec{C} \): \[ \|\vec{C}\| = \sqrt{2^2 + 3^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9 + 36} = \sqrt{49} = 7 \] Now, calculate \( \|\vec{C}\|^2 \): \[ \|\vec{C}\|^2 = 49 \] Thus, the projection is: \[ \text{proj}_{\vec{C}} \vec{AB} = \frac{0}{49} \vec{C} = 0 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Length of \( \vec{AB} \) The length of \( \vec{AB} \) is given by: \[ \|\vec{AB}\| = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + 0^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{9 + 0 + 1} = \sqrt{10} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Distance from Point \( B \) to the Line Since the projection of \( \vec{AB} \) onto \( \vec{C} \) is zero, the distance from point \( B \) to the line is simply the length of \( \vec{AB} \): \[ \text{Distance} = \|\vec{AB}\| = \sqrt{10} \] ### Final Answer The distance of the point \( B(1i + 2j + 3k) \) from the line is \( \sqrt{10} \). ---
