Misc 5 (Method 1) Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point (1, 2, –4) and perpendicular to the two lines: (š‘„ āˆ’ 8)/3 = (š‘¦ + 19)/(āˆ’16) = (š‘§ āˆ’ 10)/7 and (š‘„ āˆ’ 15)/3 = (š‘¦ āˆ’ 29)/8 = (š‘§ āˆ’ 5)/(āˆ’5) The vector equation of a line passing through a point with position vector š‘Ž āƒ— and parallel to a vector š‘ āƒ— is š’“ āƒ— = š’‚ āƒ— + šœ†š’ƒ āƒ— The line passes through (1, 2, āˆ’4) So, š’‚ āƒ— = 1š’Š Ģ‚ + 2š’‹ Ģ‚ āˆ’ 4š’Œ Ģ‚ Given, line is perpendicular to both lines ∓ š‘ āƒ— is perpendicular to both lines We know that š‘„ āƒ— Ɨ š‘¦ āƒ— is perpendicular to both š‘„ āƒ— & š‘¦ āƒ— So, š’ƒ āƒ— is cross product of both lines (š‘„ āˆ’ 8)/3 = (š‘¦ + 19)/(āˆ’16) = (š‘§ āˆ’ 10)/7 and (š‘„ āˆ’ 15)/3 = (š‘¦ āˆ’ 29)/8 = (š‘§ āˆ’ 5)/(āˆ’5) Required normal = |ā– 8(š‘– Ģ‚&š‘— Ģ‚&š‘˜ Ģ‚@3&āˆ’16&7@3&8&āˆ’5)| = š‘– Ģ‚ (–16(āˆ’5) – 8(7)) – š‘— Ģ‚ (3(-5) – 3(7)) + š‘˜ Ģ‚(3(8) – 3(–16)) = š‘– Ģ‚ (80 – 56) – š‘— Ģ‚ (–15 – 21) + š‘˜ Ģ‚(24 + 48) = 24š’Š Ģ‚ + 36š’‹ Ģ‚ + 72š’Œ Ģ‚ Thus, š’ƒ āƒ— = 24š’Š Ģ‚ + 36š’‹ Ģ‚ + 72š’Œ Ģ‚ Now, Putting value of š‘Ž āƒ— & š‘ āƒ— in formula š‘Ÿ āƒ— = š‘Ž āƒ— + šœ†š‘ āƒ— ∓ š‘Ÿ āƒ— = (1š’Š Ģ‚ + 2š’‹ Ģ‚ – 4š’Œ Ģ‚) + šœ† (24š’Š Ģ‚ + 36š’‹ Ģ‚ + 72š’Œ Ģ‚) = (š‘– Ģ‚ + 2š‘— Ģ‚ – 4š‘˜ Ģ‚) + šœ†12 (2š‘– Ģ‚ + 3š‘— Ģ‚ + 6š‘˜ Ģ‚) = (š‘– Ģ‚ + 2š‘— Ģ‚ – 4š‘˜ Ģ‚) + šœ† (2š‘– Ģ‚ + 3š‘— Ģ‚ + 6š‘˜ Ģ‚) Therefore, the equation of the line is (š’Š Ģ‚ + 2š’‹ Ģ‚ – 4š’Œ Ģ‚) + šœ† (2š’Š Ģ‚ + 3š’‹ Ģ‚ + 6š’Œ Ģ‚). Misc 5 (Method 2) Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point (1, 2, –4) and perpendicular to the two lines: (š‘„ āˆ’ 8)/3 = (š‘¦ + 19)/(āˆ’16) = (š‘§ āˆ’ 10)/7 and (š‘„ āˆ’ 15)/3 = (š‘¦ āˆ’ 29)/8 = (š‘§ āˆ’ 5)/(āˆ’5) The vector equation of a line passing through a point with position vector š‘Ž āƒ— and parallel to a vector š‘ āƒ— is š’“ āƒ— = š’‚ āƒ— + šœ†š’ƒ āƒ— The line passes through (1, 2, āˆ’4) So, š’‚ āƒ— = 1š’Š Ģ‚ + 2š’‹ Ģ‚ āˆ’ 4š’Œ Ģ‚ Let š’ƒ āƒ— = xš’Š Ģ‚ + yš’‹ Ģ‚ + zš’Œ Ģ‚ Two lines with direction ratios š‘Ž1 , š‘1 , š‘1 & š‘Ž2 , š‘2 , š‘2 are perpendicular if š’‚šŸ š’‚šŸ + š’ƒšŸš’ƒšŸ + š’„šŸ š’„šŸ = 0 Given, line š‘ āƒ— is perpendicular to (š‘„ āˆ’ 8)/3 = (š‘¦ + 19)/16 = (š‘§ āˆ’ 10)/7 and (š‘„ āˆ’ 15)/3 = (š‘¦ āˆ’ 29)/8 = (š‘§ āˆ’ 5)/( āˆ’ 5) So, 3x āˆ’ 16y + 7z = 0 and 3x + 8y āˆ’ 5z = 0 š‘„/(80 āˆ’ 56 ) = š‘¦/(21 āˆ’ ( āˆ’15) ) = š‘§/(24 āˆ’ ( āˆ’48) ) š‘„/(24 ) = š‘¦/36 = š‘§/72 š‘„/2 = š‘¦/3 = š‘§/6 = k Hence, x = 2k , y = 3k , & z = 6k Thus, š’ƒ āƒ— = xš’Š Ģ‚ + yš’‹ Ģ‚ + zš’Œ Ģ‚ = 2kš’Š Ģ‚ + 3kš’‹ Ģ‚ + 6kš’Œ Ģ‚ Now, Putting value of š‘Ž āƒ— & š‘ āƒ— in formula š‘Ÿ āƒ— = š‘Ž āƒ— + šœ†š‘ āƒ— ∓ š‘Ÿ āƒ— = (š‘– Ģ‚ + 2š‘— Ģ‚ āˆ’ 4š‘˜ Ģ‚) + šœ† (2kš‘– Ģ‚ + 3kš‘— Ģ‚ + 6kš‘˜ Ģ‚) = (š‘– Ģ‚ + 2š‘— Ģ‚ āˆ’ 4š‘˜ Ģ‚) + šœ†k (2š‘– Ģ‚ + 3š‘— Ģ‚ + 6š‘˜ Ģ‚) = (š‘– Ģ‚ + 2š‘— Ģ‚ āˆ’ 4š‘˜ Ģ‚) + šœ† (2š‘– Ģ‚ + 3š‘— Ģ‚ + 6š‘˜ Ģ‚) Therefore, the equation of the line is (š’Š Ģ‚ + 2š’‹ Ģ‚ āˆ’ 4š’Œ Ģ‚) + šœ†(2š’Š Ģ‚ + 3š’‹ Ģ‚ + 6š’Œ Ģ‚)
