Question:

In Example 3 we showed that the lines

L x= 1+ t L: x=2s y = -2 + 3t y = 3+s z=4-t z = -3 + 4s Nare skew. Find the distance between them.


Data from Example 3

Show that the lines L1 and L2 with parametric equations

x = 1 + t x = 2s y = 2+ 3t y = 3+ s z = 4-t z = -3 + 4s

are skew lines; that is, they do not intersect and are not parallel (and therefore do not lie in the same plane).
