To find the locus of the point \( P(x, y, z) \) such that the distance from the x-axis is twice its distance from the point \( Q(1, 2, -1) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the distance from the point \( P \) to the x-axis. The distance from a point \( P(x, y, z) \) to the x-axis is given by the formula: \[ d_{x-axis} = \sqrt{y^2 + z^2} \] ...
