Find the coordinates of a position in a space.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The coordinates of the described position are\({\rm{(4,0, - 3)}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Obtain the required position.

As the required position is obtained by moving along the positive \({\rm{x}}\)- axis with a distance of 4 units initially from the origin, the value of the \({\rm{x}}\)- coordinate is \({\rm{4}}{\rm{.}}\)

After reaching the 4 units on positive \({\rm{x}}\)- axis, the required position is obtained by moving downwards (negative \({\rm{x}}\)- axis), with a distance of 3 units.

02

Explanation of Solution.

As the movement is not along the \({\rm{y}}\) - axis, the value of the \({\rm{y}}\)- coordinate is\({\rm{0}}{\rm{.}}\)

As the movement is along the negative \({\rm{z}}\)- axis, the value of the \({\rm{z}}\)- coordinate is\({\rm{ - 3}}{\rm{.}}\)

Thus, the coordinates of the described position in a space is\({\rm{(4,0, - 3)}}\).
