Question Number 75101 by Rio Michael last updated on 07/Dec/19
the vector equations of two lines L_1 and L_2 is given by L_1 :r= i−j+3k + λ(i−j +k) L_2 : r= 2i+aj + 6k + μ(2i + j + 3k) where a,λ,μ are real constants. given that L_1 and L_2 intersect find a. the value of the constant a. b. the position vector of the point of intersection between L_1 and L_2 c. the cosine of the acute angle between L_1 and L_2 please help

L_1 and L_2 intersect ∴ shortest dist b/w L_1 &L_2 = 0 ∴∣(((b_1 ^→ ×b_2 ^→ )∙(a_2 ^→ −a_1 ^→ ))/(∣b_1 ^→ ×b_2 ^→ ∣))∣=0 ⇒ determinant (((2−1),(a+1),(6−3)),(( 1),(−1),( 1)),(( 2),( 1),( 3)))=0 ⇒ determinant ((1,(a+1),3),(1,(−1),1),(2,( 1),3))=0 ⇒1(−3−1)−(a+1)(3−2)+3(1+2)=0 ⇒−4−a−1+9=0 ⇒a=4

Another way r of L_1 =r of L_2 (1+λ)i+(−1−λ)j+(3+λ)k=(2+2μ)i+(a+μ)j+(6+3μ)k 1+λ=2+2μ −1−λ=a+μ 3+λ=6+3μ ⇒λ−2μ=1 ⇒λ+μ=−1−a ⇒λ−3μ=3 ⇒−2μ+3μ=1−3 ⇒μ=−2 ⇒λ+4=1⇒λ=−3 ⇒−2−3=−1−a ⇒a=4

r=i−j+3k+λ(i−j+k) a^→ =i−j+3k−3(i−j+k) {λ=−3 for intersection} =(1−3)i−(1−3)j+(3−3)k =−2i+2j

angle between L_1 &L_2 cos θ = ∣((b_1 ^→ ∙b_2 ^→ )/(∣b_1 ^→ ∣∣b_2 ^→ ∣))∣=∣(((i−j+k)∙(2i+j+3k))/( (√(1+1+1))(√(4+1+9))))∣ ⇒cos θ =∣((2−1+3)/( (√3)(√(14))))∣=(4/( (√(42))))
