So, the title is: Parallel Vectors: Is AP Parallel to u?

In summary, the problem is asking to find the coordinates of a point P such that the vector AP is parallel to the given vector u. This can be done by finding a scalar multiple x, such that xAP = u, and using the coordinates of A and u to find the coordinates of P. The dot product is not necessary for this problem.

Way back in the OP, the question was, "Is the vector ##\vec{AP}## parallel to u?" Apparently the coordinates of P were not given (or at least, they weren't shown in this thread). I believe the answer would be showing the conditions on the coordinates of P, something like this:
p1 = ...
p2 = ...
p3 = ...

And, of course, that's assuming we have guessed correctly what the actual statement of the problem was supposed to be n the first place. :devil:

Well, there's that...
