Question 17 (Method 1) Find the equation of the plane that contains the point (1, –1, 2) and is perpendicular to each of the planes 2x + 3y – 2z = 5 and x + 2y – 3z = 8. The equation of a plane passing through (š‘„_1, š‘¦_1, š‘§_1) is given by A(x āˆ’ š’™_šŸ) + B (y āˆ’ š’š_šŸ) + C(z – š’›_šŸ) = 0 where, A, B, C are the direction ratios of normal to the plane. Now the plane passes through (1, āˆ’1, 2) So, equation of plane is A(x āˆ’1) + B (y + 1) + C(z āˆ’ 2) = 0 We find the direction ratios of normal to plane i.e. A, B, C Also, the plane is perpendicular to the given two planes, So, their normal to plane would be perpendicular to normal of both planes. We know that š‘Ž āƒ— Ɨ š‘ āƒ— is perpendicular to both š‘Ž āƒ— & š‘ āƒ— So, required is normal is cross product of normal of planes 2x + 3y – 2z = 5 and x + 2y – 3z = 8. Required normal = |ā– 8(š‘– Ģ‚&š‘— Ģ‚&š‘˜ Ģ‚@2&3&āˆ’2@1&2&āˆ’3)| = š‘– Ģ‚ (3(–3) – 2(–2)) – š‘— Ģ‚ (2(–3) – 1(–2)) + š‘˜ Ģ‚(2(2) – 1(3)) = š‘– Ģ‚ (–9 + 4) – š‘— Ģ‚ (–6 + 2) + š‘˜ Ģ‚(4 – 3) = –5š‘– Ģ‚ + 4š‘— Ģ‚ + š‘˜ Ģ‚ Hence, direction ratios = –5, 4, 1 ∓ A = –5, B = 4, C = 1 Putting above values in (1), A(x āˆ’1) + B (y + 1) + C(z āˆ’ 2) = 0 āˆ’5(x āˆ’ 1) + 4 (y + 1) + 1 (z āˆ’ 2) = 0 āˆ’5x + 5 + 4y + 4 + z āˆ’ 2 = 0 āˆ’5x + 4y + z + 7 = 0 āˆ’5x + 4y + z = āˆ’7 āˆ’(5x āˆ’4y āˆ’ z) = āˆ’7 5x āˆ’ 4y āˆ’ z = 7 Therefore, the equation of the required plane is 5x āˆ’ 4y āˆ’ z = 7. Question 17 (Method 2) Find the equation of the plane that contains the point (1, – 1, 2) and is perpendicular to each of the planes 2x + 3y – 2z = 5 and x + 2y – 3z = 8. The equation of a plane passing through (š‘„_1, š‘¦_1, š‘§_1) is given by A(x āˆ’ š’™_šŸ) + B (y āˆ’ š’š_šŸ) + C(z – š’›_šŸ) = 0 where, A, B, C are the direction ratios of normal to the plane. Now the plane passes through (1, āˆ’1, 2) So, equation of plane is A(x āˆ’1) + B (y + 1) + C(z āˆ’ 2) = 0 We find the direction ratios of normal to plane i.e. A, B, C Also, the plane is perpendicular to the given two planes. Now, it is given that plane A(x āˆ’1) + B (y + 1) + C(z āˆ’ 2) = 0 is perpendicular to plane 2x + 3y – 2z = 5 Hence, A Ɨ 2 + B Ɨ 3 + C Ɨ (–2) = 0 2A + 3B āˆ’ 2C = 0 Similarly, Given that plane A(x āˆ’1) + B (y + 1) + C(z āˆ’ 2) = 0 is perpendicular to plane x + 2y – 3z = 8 Two lines with direction ratios š‘Ž_1, š‘_1, š‘_1 and š‘Ž_2, š‘_2, š‘_2 are perpendicular if š‘Ž_1 š‘Ž_2 + š‘_1 š‘_2 + š‘_1 š‘_2 = 0 Hence, A Ɨ 1 + B Ɨ 2 + C Ɨ (–3) = 0 A + 2B āˆ’ 3C = 0 So, our equations are 2A + 3B āˆ’2C = 0 A + 2B āˆ’ 3C = 0 Solving Two lines with direction ratios š‘Ž_1, š‘_1, š‘_1 and š‘Ž_2, š‘_2, š‘_2 are perpendicular if š‘Ž_1 š‘Ž_2 + š‘_1 š‘_2 + š‘_1 š‘_2 = 0 š“/(āˆ’9 āˆ’ (āˆ’4)) = šµ/(āˆ’2 āˆ’ (āˆ’6)) = š¶/(4 āˆ’ 3) š“/(āˆ’9 + 4) = šµ/(āˆ’2 + 6) = š¶/1 š“/(āˆ’5) = šµ/4 = š¶/1 = k So, A = –5k , B = 4k , C = k Putting above values in (1), A(x āˆ’1) + B (y + 1) + C(z āˆ’ 2) = 0 āˆ’5k(x āˆ’ 1) + 4k (y + 1) + k (z āˆ’ 2) = 0 k[āˆ’5(x āˆ’ 1) + 4(y + 1) + (z āˆ’ 2)] = 0 āˆ’5x + 5 + 4y + 4 + z āˆ’ 2 = 0 āˆ’5x + 4y + z + 7 = 0 āˆ’5x + 4y + z = āˆ’7 āˆ’(5x āˆ’4y āˆ’ z) = āˆ’7 5x āˆ’ 4y āˆ’ z = 7 Therefore, the equation of the required plane is 5x āˆ’ 4y āˆ’ z = 7.
