Question 42

MediumOriginal question

Which point lies on the line r⃗=(i^−j^+2k^)+λ(2i^+j^−k^)\vec{r} = (\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) + \lambda(2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k})?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. A point on the line is (1+2λ,−1+λ,2−λ)(1 + 2\lambda, -1 + \lambda, 2 - \lambda).

  2. λ=2\lambda = 2 gives (5,1,0)(5, 1, 0); each other option fails one coordinate.

Worth noting

(2,1,−1)(2, 1, -1) is the direction vector, not a point of the line.
