Question 15 (Method 1) Find the vector equation of the line passing through (1, 2, 3) and parallel to the planes ๐ โ . (๐ ฬ โ ๐ ฬ + 2 ๐ ฬ) = 5 and ๐ โ . (3๐ ฬ + ๐ ฬ + ๐ ฬ) = 6 . The vector equation of a line passing through a point with position vector ๐ โ and parallel to a vector ๐ โ is ๐ โ = ๐ โ + ๐๐ โ Given, the line passes through (1, 2, 3) So, ๐ โ = 1๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ + 3๐ ฬ Given, line is parallel to both planes โด Line is perpendicular to normal of both planes. i.e. ๐ โ is perpendicular to normal of both planes. The vector equation of a line passing through a point with position vector ๐ โ and parallel to a vector ๐ โ is ๐ โ = ๐ โ + ๐๐ โ Given, the line passes through (1, 2, 3) So, ๐ โ = 1๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ + 3๐ ฬ Given, line is parallel to both planes โด Line is perpendicular to normal of both planes. i.e. ๐ โ is perpendicular to normal of both planes. We know that ๐ โ ร ๐ โ is perpendicular to both ๐ โ & ๐ โ So, ๐ โ is cross product of normal of planes ๐ โ . (๐ ฬ โ ๐ ฬ + 2 ๐ ฬ) = 5 and ๐ โ . (3๐ ฬ + ๐ ฬ + ๐ ฬ) = 6 Required normal = |โ 8(๐ ฬ&๐ ฬ&๐ ฬ@1&โ1&2@3&1&1)| = ๐ ฬ (โ1(1) โ 1(2)) โ ๐ ฬ (1(1) โ 3(2)) + ๐ ฬ(1(1) โ 3(โ1)) = ๐ ฬ (โ1 โ 2) โ ๐ ฬ (1 โ 6) + ๐ ฬ(1 + 3) = โ3๐ ฬ + 5๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ Thus, ๐ โ = โ3๐ ฬ + 5๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ Now, Putting value of ๐ โ & ๐ โ in formula ๐ โ = ๐ โ + ๐๐ โ = (๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ + 3๐ ฬ) + ๐ (โ3๐ ฬ + 5๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ) Now, Putting value of ๐ โ & ๐ โ in formula ๐ โ = ๐ โ + ๐๐ โ = (๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ + 3๐ ฬ) + ๐ (โ3๐ ฬ + 5๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ) Question 15 (Method 2) Find the vector equation of the line passing through (1, 2, 3) and parallel to the planes ๐ โ . (๐ ฬ โ ๐ ฬ + 2 ๐ ฬ) = 5 and ๐ โ . (3๐ ฬ + ๐ ฬ + ๐ ฬ) = 6 . The vector equation of a line passing through a point with position vector ๐ โ and parallel to a vector ๐ โ is ๐ โ = ๐ โ + ๐๐ โ Given, the line passes through (1, 2, 3) So, ๐ โ = 1๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ + 3๐ ฬ Let ๐ โ = ๐_1 ๐ ฬ + ๐_2 ๐ ฬ + ๐_3 ๐ ฬ A line parallel to a plane is perpendicular to the normal of the plane. And two lines ๐ โ and ๐ โ are perpendicular if ๐ โ.๐ โ = 0 Given, the line is parallel to planes ๐ โ.(๐ ฬ โ ๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ) = 5 Comparing with ๐ โ. (๐1) โ = d1, (๐1) โ = 1๐ ฬ โ 1๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ Since ๐ โ is โฅ to (๐1) โ, ๐ โ.(๐1) โ = 0 (๐1๐ ฬ + ๐2 ๐ ฬ + ๐3 ๐ ฬ).(1๐ ฬ โ 1๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ) = 0 (๐"1"ร 1) + (๐"2"ร โ1) + (๐3 ร 2) = 0 ๐1 โ ๐2 + 2๐3 = 0 ๐ โ.(3๐ ฬ + ๐ ฬ + ๐ ฬ) = 6 Comparing with ๐ โ. (๐2) โ = d2, (๐2) โ = 3๐ ฬ + 1๐ ฬ + 1๐ ฬ Since ๐ โ is โฅ to (๐2) โ, ๐ โ.(๐2) โ = 0 (๐1 ๐ ฬ + ๐2 ๐ ฬ + ๐3 ๐ ฬ).(3๐ ฬ + 1๐ ฬ + 1๐ ฬ) = 0 (๐1 ร 3) + (๐2 ร 1) + (๐3 ร 1) = 0 3๐1 + ๐2 + ๐3 = 0 So, our equations are ๐1 โ ๐2 + 2๐3 = 0 3๐1 + ๐2 + ๐3 = 0 Thus, ๐ โ = ๐_1 ๐ ฬ + ๐_2 ๐ ฬ + ๐_3 ๐ ฬ = โ3k๐ ฬ + 5k๐ ฬ + 4k๐ ฬ Now, Putting value of ๐ โ & ๐ โ in formula ๐ โ = ๐ โ + ๐๐ โ โด ๐ โ = (1๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ + 3๐ ฬ) + ๐ (โ3k๐ ฬ + 5k๐ ฬ + 4k๐ ฬ) = (๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ + 3๐ ฬ) + ๐k (โ3๐ ฬ + 5๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ) = (๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ + 3๐ ฬ) + ๐ (โ3๐ ฬ + 5๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ) Therefore, the equation of the line is (๐ ฬ + 2๐ ฬ + 3๐ ฬ) + ๐ (โ3๐ ฬ + 5๐ ฬ + 4๐ ฬ).
