Misc 5 (Method 1) Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point (1, 2, โ€“4) and perpendicular to the two lines: (๐‘ฅ โˆ’ 8)/3 = (๐‘ฆ + 19)/(โˆ’16) = (๐‘ง โˆ’ 10)/7 and (๐‘ฅ โˆ’ 15)/3 = (๐‘ฆ โˆ’ 29)/8 = (๐‘ง โˆ’ 5)/(โˆ’5) The vector equation of a line passing through a point with position vector ๐‘Ž โƒ— and parallel to a vector ๐‘ โƒ— is ๐’“ โƒ— = ๐’‚ โƒ— + ๐œ†๐’ƒ โƒ— The line passes through (1, 2, โˆ’4) So, ๐’‚ โƒ— = 1๐’Š ฬ‚ + 2๐’‹ ฬ‚ โˆ’ 4๐’Œ ฬ‚ Given, line is perpendicular to both lines โˆด ๐‘ โƒ— is perpendicular to both lines We know that ๐‘ฅ โƒ— ร— ๐‘ฆ โƒ— is perpendicular to both ๐‘ฅ โƒ— & ๐‘ฆ โƒ— So, ๐’ƒ โƒ— is cross product of both lines (๐‘ฅ โˆ’ 8)/3 = (๐‘ฆ + 19)/(โˆ’16) = (๐‘ง โˆ’ 10)/7 and (๐‘ฅ โˆ’ 15)/3 = (๐‘ฆ โˆ’ 29)/8 = (๐‘ง โˆ’ 5)/(โˆ’5) Required normal = |โ– 8(๐‘– ฬ‚&๐‘— ฬ‚&๐‘˜ ฬ‚@3&โˆ’16&7@3&8&โˆ’5)| = ๐‘– ฬ‚ (โ€“16(โˆ’5) โ€“ 8(7)) โ€“ ๐‘— ฬ‚ (3(-5) โ€“ 3(7)) + ๐‘˜ ฬ‚(3(8) โ€“ 3(โ€“16)) = ๐‘– ฬ‚ (80 โ€“ 56) โ€“ ๐‘— ฬ‚ (โ€“15 โ€“ 21) + ๐‘˜ ฬ‚(24 + 48) = 24๐’Š ฬ‚ + 36๐’‹ ฬ‚ + 72๐’Œ ฬ‚ Thus, ๐’ƒ โƒ— = 24๐’Š ฬ‚ + 36๐’‹ ฬ‚ + 72๐’Œ ฬ‚ Now, Putting value of ๐‘Ž โƒ— & ๐‘ โƒ— in formula ๐‘Ÿ โƒ— = ๐‘Ž โƒ— + ๐œ†๐‘ โƒ— โˆด ๐‘Ÿ โƒ— = (1๐’Š ฬ‚ + 2๐’‹ ฬ‚ โ€“ 4๐’Œ ฬ‚) + ๐œ† (24๐’Š ฬ‚ + 36๐’‹ ฬ‚ + 72๐’Œ ฬ‚) = (๐‘– ฬ‚ + 2๐‘— ฬ‚ โ€“ 4๐‘˜ ฬ‚) + ๐œ†12 (2๐‘– ฬ‚ + 3๐‘— ฬ‚ + 6๐‘˜ ฬ‚) = (๐‘– ฬ‚ + 2๐‘— ฬ‚ โ€“ 4๐‘˜ ฬ‚) + ๐œ† (2๐‘– ฬ‚ + 3๐‘— ฬ‚ + 6๐‘˜ ฬ‚) Therefore, the equation of the line is (๐’Š ฬ‚ + 2๐’‹ ฬ‚ โ€“ 4๐’Œ ฬ‚) + ๐œ† (2๐’Š ฬ‚ + 3๐’‹ ฬ‚ + 6๐’Œ ฬ‚).
