Answer

$x=1+2t; y=1-4t; z=1+2t$

Work Step by Step

The vector equation is given by: $r(x,y,z)=r_0+t \nabla f(r_0)$ Given: $f(x,y,z)=xyz; x^2+2y^2+3z^2=6$ The equation of tangent line is $v=2 i -4j+2k$ or, $v=\lt 2,-4,2 \gt$ Now, the parametric equations are as follows: $x=1+2t; y=1+0t=1; z=1+2t$ Thus, $x=1+2t; y=1-4t; z=1+2t$
