Show that Q does not lieon L. 2)Without performing any numerical calculations, express d in terms of sin(θ) and |P Q| andhence show that d = |P Q × v(v with a hat)|. Proceed to use your points P and Q and the vector v(hat) to find d. 3)Find the point R such that PR =(P Q · v(hat)/|v(hat)| 2⃗ ) * v(hat). Confirm that R lies on the line L. Interpret the vector P R. Finally, verify that d = |RQ|.arrow_forwardDirections: Use your knowledge of properties of quadratic equations to answer each question. Show all work and label your answers with appropriate units.
