Sure, I can help you with that. To reflect a vector across a line in 3 dimensions, you can use the following steps:

Find the projection of the vector onto the line.

Rotate the projection by 180 degrees around the line.

The result of the rotation is the reflected vector.

To find the projection of a vector onto a line, you can use the following formula:

Code snippet

Projection = (Dot Product) / (Dot Product of the unit direction vector of the line with itself)

Where:

Projection is the projection of the vector onto the line.

Dot Product is the dot product of the vector and the unit direction vector of the line.

Unit Direction Vector of the Line is a vector that points in the same direction as the line and has a magnitude of 1.

To rotate a vector by 180 degrees around a line, you can use the following formula:

Code snippet

Rotated Vector = 2 * Projection - Vector

Where:

Rotated Vector is the rotated vector.

Projection is the projection of the vector onto the line.

Vector is the original vector.

For example, let's say we have the vector v = (1, 2, 3) and the line l = (1, 0, 0) + t (0, 1, 1).

To find the projection of v onto l, we would use the following formula:

Code snippet

Projection = (v dot (1, 0, 0) + t (0, 1, 1)) / (dot product of (1, 0, 0) + t (0, 1, 1) with itself)

Use code with caution. Learn more

Code snippet

Projection = ((1 * 1) + (2 * 0) + (3 * 0)) / ((1 * 1) + (0 * 0) + (0 * 1))

Use code with caution. Learn more

Code snippet

Projection = 1 / 1

copy

Code snippet

Projection = 1

So, the projection of v onto l is (1, 0, 0).

To rotate v by 180 degrees around l, we would use the following formula:

Code snippet

Rotated Vector = 2 * Projection - Vector

Use code with caution. Learn more

copy

Code snippet

Rotated Vector = 2 * (1, 0, 0) - (1, 2, 3)

Use code with caution. Learn more

Code snippet

Rotated Vector = (2, -4, -6)

Use code with caution. Learn more

So, the rotated vector is (2, -4, -6).

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

When five times a number is divided by 7 more than the number and the result is 2, then the number is 14/3, which is solved using the linear equation in one variable 5x/(x+ 7) = 2, where x is the required number.

What are linear equations in one variable?

Linear equations are first-order equations. Lines in the coordinate system are determined by linear equations. A linear equation in one variable is defined as an equation with a homogeneous variable of degree 1 (i.e. only one variable).

How to solve the given question?

In the question, we are asked to find a number, which satisfies the statement, "Five times a number is divided by 7 more than the number. The result of this division is 2".

We assume the number to be x.

Now we try to form a linear equation in one variable from the given statement.

Five times a number is 5x.

7 more than a number is x + 7.

We are said that five times a number is divided by 7 more than a number. This can be shown as 5x/(x + 7).

Now, the result is given as 2, which can be shown as:

5x/(x+ 7) = 2, which is the required linear equation in one variable.

To get the number, we solve the equation using the following steps:

5x/(x+ 7) = 2

or, {5x/(x+ 7)}*(x + 7) = 2*(x + 7) (Multiplying both sides by (x + 7))

or, 5x = 2x + 14 (Simplifying)

or, 5x - 2x = 2x + 14 - 2x (Subtracting 2x from both sides)

or, 3x = 14 (Simplifying)

or, 3x/3 = 14/3 (Dividing both sides by 3)

or, x = 14/3 (Simplifying)

∴ When five times a number is divided by 7 more than the number and the result is 2, then the number is 14/3, which is solved using the linear equation in one variable 5x/(x+ 7) = 2, where x is the required number.
