Question
Consider the following lines.
r(t) = (4t-1,4t - 1,2t+3), for -∞<t<∞
R(s) = (s +3, 4s+3, -2s+5), for -∞o<S<∞0
a. Determine whether the lines intersect (have a common point) and if so, find the coordinates of that point.
b. If r and R describe the paths of two particles, do the particles collide? Assume t20 and s 20 measure time in seconds.
a. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your answer.
O A. The lines intersect at
(Simplify your answer. Type an ordered triple.)
O B. The lines do not intersect.
