Find the coordinates of the point of intersection between the line L:(-i+j-5k)+v(i+j+2k) and the plane π: r.(i+2j+3k)=4.

By inspection we can tell that the line and the plane are not parallel. Since the dot product between the direction vector of the line with the perpendicular vector of the plane was not equal to 0 (i.e. b.n≠...

Find the shortest distance between the lines r = (1, 5, 6) + y(-2, -1, 0) and r = (1, 7, -3) + z(2, 0, 4)

Vector joining the two lines = (1, 5, 6) - (1, 7, -3) = (0, -2, 9)Normal vector to the two lines = (-2, -1, 0) x (2, 0, 4) = (-4, 8, 2) = 2(-2, 4, 1)Hence, using the dot product, shortest distance = (0, -2, ...
