TGM Original Questions

The line \({{l}_{2}}\) passes through \(A\left( 2,-3,2 \right)\) and is parallel to the direction vector \(\left( \begin{matrix}  29  \\-2  \\ 10  \end{matrix} \right)\).

\({{l}_{2}}\) intersects \({{l}_{1}}:\mathbf{r}=\left( \begin{matrix} 1  \\  -5  \\2  \end{matrix} \right)+\lambda \left( \begin{matrix}14  \\-2  \\  5  \end{matrix} \right);\lambda \in \mathbb{R}\) at \(C\). Find

  1. the coordinates of \(C\),
  2. the acute angle between \({{l}_{1}}\) and \({{l}_{2}}\),
  3. the vector line equation of mirror image of \({{l}_{2}}\) in \({{l}_{1}}\).
