Two particles travel along the space curves r(t) and u(t). A collision will occur at the point of intersection if both particles are at P at the same time. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE. Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) r(t) = t^2i + (9t - 20)j + t^2k u(t) = (3t + 4)i + t^2j + (5t - 4)k point of intersection (x, y, z) =
1. Do the particles collide?
a. Yes
b. No
2. Do their paths intersect?
a. Yes
b. No

Point of intersection (x, y, z) = (16, 16, 16)

1. a. Yes

2. a. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the particles to colide (and therefore have their paths intersect), the values for the i, j, and k coordinates must be equal for a given 't':

For the i coordinate:

For the j coordinate:

For the k coordinate:

As we can see, for t =4, both paths have the same coordinates and therefore they intersect and the particles will colide.

Point of intersection (x, y, z) = (16, 16, 16)
