write the vector equation of a line passing through (1,-1,2) and (2,2,2).

The vector from (1,-1,2) to (2,2,2) will have direction (2,2,2)-(1,-1,2) which is (1,3,0) so the vector equation is r =(1,-1,2) + s(1,3,0) where s is a scalar.

At each point P of a curve for which x > 0 the tangent cuts the y-axis at T, and N is the foot of the perpendicular from P to the y-axis. If T is always 1 unit below N and the curve passes through the point (1,0), find the Cartesian equation of the curve.

When faced with a problem like this, it is always a good idea to draw a rough sketch of what might be going on. With the help of a diagram, we notice that PNT is a right angled triangle w...
