If A(-2, 2, 3) and B(13, -3, 13) are two points. Find the locus of a point P which moves in such a way that 3PA = 2PB.
Let P be (x, y, z), here, A(-2, 2, 3) and B(13, -3, 13) and 3PA = 2PB
⇒3√(−2−x)2+(2−y)2+(3−z)2
=2√(13−x)2+(−3−y)2+(13−z)2
⇒9[x2+4x+y2+4−4y+z2+9−6z]
=4[x2+169−26x+y2+9+6y+z2+169−26z]
⇒9x2−4x2+36x+104x+36−676+9y2−4y2+36−36−36y−24y+9z2−4z2+81−676−54z+6yz=0
⇒5x2+5y2+6z2+140x−60y+50z−1235=0 is the locus of the point P
⇒5(x2+y2+z2)+140x−60y+50z−1235=0
