3. If the position vectors of points T and S are 3a𝑥 − 2a𝑦 + a𝑧 and 4a𝑥 + 6a𝑦 + 2a𝑧 , respectively,
find: (a) the distance vector from T to S and (b) the distance between T and S.

4. Given three points, A(4, 3, 2), B(-2, 0, 5), and C(7, —2, 1): (a) specify the vector A extending
from the origin to point A; (b) give a unit vector extending from the origin toward the midpoint
of line AB; (c) calculate the length of the perimeter of triangle ABC.

5. The vector from the origin to point A is given as 6a𝑥 — 2a𝑦 — 4a𝑧 , and the unit vector
2 2 1
directed from the origin toward point B is (3 , − 3 , 3), If points A and B are 10 units apart, find
the coordinates of point B.
