Show that the two lines

$\displaystyle g_1:\, \vec{x}=\left(\begin{array}{c}1\\ 5\\ 2\end{array}\right)+...
...rray}\right) + \thickspace
t \left(\begin{array}{c}1\\ 2\\ 2\end{array}\right) $


are skew, compute the distance between the two lines and find the points $ P\in g_1$, $ Q\in g_2$ for which the lines' distance is attained.
