Question
The lines / and m have equations r= 3i – 2j + k + 1(-i+ 2j + k) and r = 4i + 4j + 2k + µ(ai + bj – k)
respectively, where a and b are constants.
(i) Given that I and m intersect, show that
2a - b = 4.
(ii) Given also that I and m are perpendicular, find the values of a and b.
(iii) When a and b have these values, find the position vector of the point of intersection of I and m.
