The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
We need to determine which octant the point (1, -3, 4) lies in.
The signs of the coordinates in each octant are as follows:
- (+, +, +)
- (-, +, +)
- (-, -, +)
- (+, -, +)
- (+, +, -)
- (-, +, -)
- (-, -, -)
- (+, -, -)
The point (1, -3, 4) has signs (+, -, +). Comparing this to the list of octants, we see it corresponds to the 4th octant.
Therefore, the correct option is (C) Fourth.
