Question
1. Show that the vectors u, and uz parallel to lines L, and L2 respectively, are
orthogonal.
L1: x = 5 – 2t, y = -7+t, z= 6 +4t and L2: x = 2 + 3t, y = 5 + 2t, z = 1+t
Transcribed Image Text:1. Show that the vectors u, and uz parallel to lines L, and L2 respectively, are orthogonal. L1: x = 5 – 2t, y = -7+t, z= 6 +4t and L2: x = 2 + 3t, y = 5 + 2t, z = 1+t
Expert Solution
Step 1

The given equations of lines are:

L1:x=5-2t, y=-7+t, z=6+4t and L2:x=2+3t, y=5+2t, z=1+t

Rewriting it as:

L1: 5,-7,6+t-2,1,4 and L2:2,5,1+t3,2,1

So, the directional vectors of L1 and L2 are v1=-2,1,4, v2=3,2,1
