Question: Consider the set in R 3 , defined by the equation 1. Show that the set P is an affine set of dimension 2. To

Consider the set in R3, defined by the equation

P = {x R : x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 =1}.

1. Show that the set P is an affine set of dimension 2. To this end, express it as x(0) + span(x(1), x(2)), where x(0) ∈ P, land x(1), x(2) are linearly independent vectors.
2. Find the minimum Euclidean distance from 0 to the set P, and a point that achieves the minimum distance.

P = {x R : x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 =1}.
