Height Point 4000C9
1. **State the problem:** Find the point $P$ on line segment $AC$ such that the height $h$ from point $B$ to $AC$ is perpendicular to $AC$.
2. **Formula and rules:** The height from $B$ to $AC$ is the perpendicular distance from $B$ to the line through $A$ and $C$. Point $P$ lies on $AC$ and satisfies $\overrightarrow{BP} \perp \overrightarrow{AC}$.
3. **Find vector $\overrightarrow{AC}$:**
$$\overrightarrow{AC} = C - A = (1 - 1, 3 - (-2), -1 - 2) = (0, 5, -3)$$
4. **Parameterize point $P$ on $AC$:**
$$P = A + t\overrightarrow{AC} = (1, -2, 2) + t(0, 5, -3) = (1, -2 + 5t, 2 - 3t)$$
5. **Vector $\overrightarrow{BP}$:**
$$\overrightarrow{BP} = P - B = (1 - 5, (-2 + 5t) - (-6), (2 - 3t) - 2) = (-4, 4 + 5t, -3t)$$
6. **Perpendicularity condition:**
$$\overrightarrow{BP} \cdot \overrightarrow{AC} = 0$$
Calculate the dot product:
$$(-4)(0) + (4 + 5t)(5) + (-3t)(-3) = 0$$
$$0 + 20 + 25t + 9t = 0$$
$$20 + 34t = 0$$
7. **Solve for $t$:**
$$34t = -20$$
$$t = -\frac{20}{34} = -\frac{10}{17}$$
8. **Find coordinates of $P$:**
$$P = (1, -2 + 5(-\frac{10}{17}), 2 - 3(-\frac{10}{17})) = \left(1, -2 - \frac{50}{17}, 2 + \frac{30}{17}\right)$$
Simplify:
$$y = -2 - \frac{50}{17} = -\frac{34}{17} - \frac{50}{17} = -\frac{84}{17}$$
$$z = 2 + \frac{30}{17} = \frac{34}{17} + \frac{30}{17} = \frac{64}{17}$$
So,
$$P = \left(1, -\frac{84}{17}, \frac{64}{17}\right)$$
**Final answer:**
$$P = \left(1, -\frac{84}{17}, \frac{64}{17}\right)$$
