Solution
Given P(2, 3, 0) and Q(-1, -2, -4)
The vector from P to Q is:
Statement (A) is TRUE.
The projection of vector on vector is given by:
Projection
The statement claims the denominator is , which is incorrect. The denominator should be the magnitude of the vector on which the projection is taken.
Statement (B) is FALSE.
Given and
