Question 36 Find the equation of a plane passing through the points A (2, 1, 2) and B (4, −2, 1) and perpendicular to plane 𝑟 ⃗ . (𝑖 ̂ − 2𝑘 ̂) =. 5 Also, find the coordinates of the point, where the line passing through the points (3, 4, 1) and (5, 1, 6) crosses the plane thus obtained.
Given plane passes through A (2, 1, 2) and B (4, –2, 1)
Let point P (x, y, z) be any point in the required plane
Now,
AP lies in the required plane
Also,
AB lies in the required plane
Therefore,
Normal of required plane = (𝐴𝑃) ⃗ × (𝐴𝐵) ⃗
It is also given that
Required plane is perpendicular to 𝑟 ⃗ . (𝑖 ̂ − 2𝑘 ̂) = 5
So, its normal = 𝑛 ⃗ = 𝑖 ̂ − 2𝑘 ̂
Since required plane and other plane are perpendicular
Both their normals will be perpendicular
So, their dot product is 0
i.e. Normal of Required Plane . Normal of other plane = 0
((𝐴𝑃) ⃗ × (𝐴𝐵) ⃗). 𝑛 ⃗ = 0
𝑛 ⃗ . ((𝐴𝑃) ⃗ × (𝐴𝐵) ⃗) = 0
This is scalar triple product 𝑎 ⃗.(𝑏 ⃗×𝑐 ⃗ )= [■8(𝑎 ⃗&𝑏 ⃗&𝑐 ⃗ )]
[■8(𝑛 ⃗&(𝐴𝑃) ⃗&(𝐴𝐵) ⃗ )] = 0
Now,
Points are A (2, 1, 2), B (4, −2, 1) and P(x, y, z)
Therefore,
(𝐴𝑃) ⃗ = (𝑥−2) 𝑖 ̂+(𝑦−1) 𝑗 ̂+(𝑧−2) 𝑘 ̂
(𝐴𝐵) ⃗ = (4−2) 𝑖 ̂+(−2−1) 𝑗 ̂+(1−2) 𝑘 ̂ = = 2𝑖 ̂−3𝑗 ̂−𝑘 ̂
And the other plane is
𝑟 ⃗ . (𝑖 ̂ − 2𝑘 ̂) = 5
So, its normal = 𝑛 ⃗ = 𝑖 ̂ − 2𝑘 ̂ = 𝑖 ̂ + 0𝑗 ̂ − 2𝑘 ̂
Putting these values in (3)
[■8(𝑛 ⃗&(𝐴𝑃) ⃗&(𝐴𝐵) ⃗ )] = 0
|■8(1&0&−2@(𝑥−2)&(𝑦−1)&(𝑧−2)@2&−3&−1)| = 0
1(–(y – 1) + 3(z – 2)) + 0 – 2 (–3(x – 2) – 2 (y – 1)) = 0
–(y – 1) + 3(z – 2) + 6(x – 2) + 4 (y – 1) = 0
–y + 1 + 3z – 6 + 6x – 12 + 4y – 4 = 0
6x + 3y + 3z = 21
2x + y + z = 7
So, the equation of plane is 2x + y + z = 7
Now, the next part of the question is
Also, find the coordinates of the point, where the line passing through the points (3, 4, 1) and (5, 1, 6) crosses the plane thus obtained.
Equation of line passing through (3, 4, 1) and (5, 1, 6) is
(𝑥 − 𝑥_1)/(𝑥_2 − 𝑥_1 ) = (𝑦 − 𝑦_1)/(𝑦_2 − 𝑦_1 ) = (𝑧 − 𝑧_1)/(𝑧_2 − 𝑧_1 )
(𝑥 − 3)/(5 − 3) = (𝑦 − 4)/(1 − 4) = (𝑧 − 1)/(6 − 1)
(𝑥 − 3)/2 = (𝑦 − 4)/(−3) = (𝑧 − 1)/5
Now, we need to find intersection point of line and plane
Equation of line is
(𝑥 − 3)/2 = (𝑦 − 4)/(−3) = (𝑧 − 1)/5 = k
So, point on the line is
x = 2k + 3, y = –3k + 4, z = 5k + 1
Putting these values in equation of plane
2x + y + z = 7
2(2k + 3) + (–3k + 4) + (5k + 1) = 7
4k + 6 – 3k + 4 + 5k + 1 = 7
6k + 11 = 7
6k = 7 – 11
6k = –4
k = (−2)/3
Thus, coordinates of points are
x = 2k + 3 = 2 × ((−2)/3) + 3 = (−4)/3+3 = (−4 + 9)/3 = 5/3
y = –3k + 4 = –3 × ((−2)/3) + 4 = 6/3+4 = 2 + 4 = 6
z = 5k + 1 = 5 × ((−2)/3) + 1 = (−10)/3+1 = (−10 + 3)/3 = (−7)/3
Thus, the required point is (5/3,6,(−7)/3)
