Answer

$(\dfrac{5}{14},\dfrac{2}{7},\dfrac{19}{14})$

Work Step by Step

Use Lagrange Multipliers Method: $\nabla f=\lambda \nabla g$ Need to find the equation of line that is orthogonal to the plane and passes through $(0,1,1)$. Equation of plane is: $x-2y+3x=6$ Thus, $0+(1)(p)-2(1-2(p))+3(1+3(p))=6$ After solving, we get $p=\dfrac{5}{14}$ Thus, $x=p,y=1-2p,z=1+3p$ Plug in the value of $p$, we get $x=\dfrac{5}{14}$, $y=\dfrac{2}{7}$ and $z=\dfrac{19}{14}$ The required points are: $(\dfrac{5}{14},\dfrac{2}{7},\dfrac{19}{14})$
