Question 10 If the points (1, 1 , p) and (โ3 , 0, 1) be equidistant from the plane ๐ โ. (3๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ โ 12๐ ฬ) + 13 = 0, then find the value of p. The distance of a point with position vector ๐ โ from the plane ๐ โ.๐ โ = d is |(๐ โ.๐ โ โ ๐ )/|๐ โ | | Given, the points are The equation of plane is ๐ โ. (3๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ โ 12๐ ฬ) + 13 = 0 ๐ โ.(3๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ โ 12๐ ฬ) = โ13 (1, 1, p) So, (๐_1 ) โ = 1๐ ฬ + 1๐ ฬ + p๐ ฬ (โ3, 0, 1) So, (๐_2 ) โ = โ3๐ ฬ + 0๐ ฬ + 1๐ ฬ โ๐ โ.(3๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ โ 12๐ ฬ) = 13 ๐ โ.(โ3๐ ฬ โ 4๐ ฬ + 12๐ ฬ) = 13 Comparing with ๐ โ.๐ โ = d, ๐ โ = โ3๐ ฬ โ 4๐ ฬ + 12๐ ฬ d = 13 Magnitude of ๐ โ = โ((โ3)^2+(โ4)^2+ใ12ใ^2 ) |๐ โ | = โ(9+16+144) = โ169 = 13 Distance of point (๐๐) โ from plane |((๐1) โ"." ๐ โ" " โ ๐)/|๐ โ | | = |((1๐ ฬ + 1๐ ฬ + ๐๐ ฬ ).(โ3๐ ฬโ4๐ ฬ+12๐ ฬ )โ13)/13| = |((1รโ3)+(1รโ4) +(๐ร12)โ13)/13| = |(โ3โ4+12๐โ13)/13| = |(12๐ โ 20)/13| Distance of point (๐๐) โ from plane |((๐2) โ"." ๐ โ โ ๐)/|๐ โ | | = |((โ3๐ ฬ +0๐ ฬ +1๐ ฬ ).(โ3๐ ฬโ4๐ ฬ+12๐ ฬ )โ13)/13| = |((โ3รโ3)+(0รโ4) +(1ร12)โ13)/13| = |(9 + 0 +12โ13)/13| = |8/13| = 8/13 Since the plane is equidistance from both the points, |(๐๐๐ โ ๐๐)/๐๐| = ๐/๐๐ |12๐โ20| = 8 (12p โ 20) = ยฑ 8 12p โ 20 = 8 12p = 8 + 20 12p = 28 p = 28/12 p = 7/3 12p โ 20 = โ8 12p = โ8 + 20 12p = 12 p = 12/12 p = 1 Answer does not match at end.
