Question 5 Find the equation of the plane passing through (a, b, c) and parallel to the plane š ā . (š Ģ + š Ģ + š Ģ) = 2.The equation of plane passing through (x1, y1, z1) and perpendicular to a line with direction ratios A, B, C is A(x ā x1) + B (y ā y1) + C(z ā z1) = 0 The plane passes through (a, b, c) So, x1 = š, y1 = š, z1 = š Since both planes are parallel to each other, their normal will be parallel ā“ Direction ratios of normal = Direction ratios of normal of š ā.(š Ģ + š Ģ + š Ģ) = 2 Direction ratios of normal = 1, 1, 1 ā“ A = 1, B = 1, C = 1 Thus, Equation of plane in Cartesian form is A(x ā x1) + B (y ā y1) + C(z ā z1) = 0 1(x ā š) + 1(y ā b) + 1(z ā c) = 0 x ā a + y ā b + z ā c = 0 x + y + z ā (a + b + c) = 0 x + y + z = a + b + c ā“ Direction ratios of normal = Direction ratios of normal of š ā.(š Ģ + š Ģ + š Ģ) = 2 Direction ratios of normal = 1, 1, 1 ā“ A = 1, B = 1, C = 1 Thus, Equation of plane in Cartesian form is A(x ā x1) + B (y ā y1) + C(z ā z1) = 0 1(x ā š) + 1(y ā b) + 1(z ā c) = 0 x ā a + y ā b + z ā c = 0 x + y + z ā (a + b + c) = 0 x + y + z = a + b + c
