Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A and C only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{AB} = (8-2, -1-(-3), 2-(-1)) = (6, 2, 3)\) \(|\vec{AB}| = \sqrt{6^2 + 2^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{36+4+9} = \sqrt{49} = 7\) \(\vec{P} = \vec{A} \pm \frac{14}{|\vec{AB}|}\vec{AB} = (2, -3, -1) \pm \frac{14}{7}(6, 2, 3)\)…
