A particle starts at the point P=(2,-1,5) to the point Q=(5,3,-1). Find a parametric equation of the line if:
A). The particle takes 5 seconds to move from P to Q.
B). The speed of the particle is 5 units per second.
A). The particle takes 5 seconds to move from P to Q.
B). The speed of the particle is 5 units per second.
Solution
(a) x = 2 + 0.6t, y = 1 + 0.8t, z = 5 -1.2t (b) x = 2 + 1.92t, y = 1 + 2.56t, z = 5 - 3.84t.
