Question 46

Relative to a fixed origin OOO:

  • the point AAA has position vector 1i+2j−k1\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} - \mathbf{k}1i+2j−k
  • the point BBB has position vector 3i−2j+7k3\mathbf{i} - 2\mathbf{j} + 7\mathbf{k}3i−2j+7k

The line lll passes through AAA and BBB.

a.

(i) Find AB→\overrightarrow{AB}AB. (ii) Find a vector equation for the line lll.

b.

The point CCC has position vector 9i+0j+1k9\mathbf{i} + 0\mathbf{j} + 1\mathbf{k}9i+0j+1k. The point PPP lies on lll. Given that CP→\overrightarrow{CP}CP is perpendicular to lll:

Find the position vector of the point PPP.
