5 The equations of three lines are as follows. $$\begin{array} { l l } \text { Line } A : & \mathbf { r } = \mathbf { i } + 4 \mathbf { j } + \mathbf { k } + s ( - \mathbf { i } + 2 \mathbf { j } + 2 \mathbf { k } )
\text { Line } B : & \mathbf { r } = 2 \mathbf { i } + 8 \mathbf { j } + 2 \mathbf { k } + t ( \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } + 5 \mathbf { k } )
\text { Line } C : & \mathbf { r } = - \mathbf { i } + 19 \mathbf { j } + 15 \mathbf { k } + u ( 2 \mathbf { i } - 4 \mathbf { j } - 4 \mathbf { k } ) \end{array}$$
  1. Show that lines \(A\) and \(B\) are skew.
  2. Determine, giving reasons, the geometrical relationship between lines \(A\) and \(C\).
