Question 17 (Method 1) Find the equation of the plane that contains the point (1, ā1, 2) and is perpendicular to each of the planes 2x + 3y ā 2z = 5 and x + 2y ā 3z = 8. The equation of a plane passing through (š„_1, š¦_1, š§_1) is given by A(x ā š_š) + B (y ā š_š) + C(z ā š_š) = 0 where, A, B, C are the direction ratios of normal to the plane. Now the plane passes through (1, ā1, 2) So, equation of plane is A(x ā1) + B (y + 1) + C(z ā 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 ā Ć š ā is perpendicular to both š ā & š ā So, required is normal is cross product of normal of planes 2x + 3y ā 2z = 5 and x + 2y ā 3z = 8. Required normal = |ā 8(š Ģ&š Ģ&š Ģ@2&3&ā2@1&2&ā3)| = š Ģ (3(ā3) ā 2(ā2)) ā š Ģ (2(ā3) ā 1(ā2)) + š Ģ(2(2) ā 1(3)) = š Ģ (ā9 + 4) ā š Ģ (ā6 + 2) + š Ģ(4 ā 3) = ā5š Ģ + 4š Ģ + š Ģ Hence, direction ratios = ā5, 4, 1 ā“ A = ā5, B = 4, C = 1 Putting above values in (1), A(x ā1) + B (y + 1) + C(z ā 2) = 0 ā5(x ā 1) + 4 (y + 1) + 1 (z ā 2) = 0 ā5x + 5 + 4y + 4 + z ā 2 = 0 ā5x + 4y + z + 7 = 0 ā5x + 4y + z = ā7 ā(5x ā4y ā z) = ā7 5x ā 4y ā z = 7 Therefore, the equation of the required plane is 5x ā 4y ā z = 7. Question 17 (Method 2) Find the equation of the plane that contains the point (1, ā 1, 2) and is perpendicular to each of the planes 2x + 3y ā 2z = 5 and x + 2y ā 3z = 8. The equation of a plane passing through (š„_1, š¦_1, š§_1) is given by A(x ā š_š) + B (y ā š_š) + C(z ā š_š) = 0 where, A, B, C are the direction ratios of normal to the plane. Now the plane passes through (1, ā1, 2) So, equation of plane is A(x ā1) + B (y + 1) + C(z ā 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 ā1) + B (y + 1) + C(z ā 2) = 0 is perpendicular to plane 2x + 3y ā 2z = 5 Hence, A Ć 2 + B Ć 3 + C Ć (ā2) = 0 2A + 3B ā 2C = 0 Similarly, Given that plane A(x ā1) + B (y + 1) + C(z ā 2) = 0 is perpendicular to plane x + 2y ā 3z = 8 Two lines with direction ratios š_1, š_1, š_1 and š_2, š_2, š_2 are perpendicular if š_1 š_2 + š_1 š_2 + š_1 š_2 = 0 Hence, A Ć 1 + B Ć 2 + C Ć (ā3) = 0 A + 2B ā 3C = 0 So, our equations are 2A + 3B ā2C = 0 A + 2B ā 3C = 0 Solving Two lines with direction ratios š_1, š_1, š_1 and š_2, š_2, š_2 are perpendicular if š_1 š_2 + š_1 š_2 + š_1 š_2 = 0 š“/(ā9 ā (ā4)) = šµ/(ā2 ā (ā6)) = š¶/(4 ā 3) š“/(ā9 + 4) = šµ/(ā2 + 6) = š¶/1 š“/(ā5) = šµ/4 = š¶/1 = k So, A = ā5k , B = 4k , C = k Putting above values in (1), A(x ā1) + B (y + 1) + C(z ā 2) = 0 ā5k(x ā 1) + 4k (y + 1) + k (z ā 2) = 0 k[ā5(x ā 1) + 4(y + 1) + (z ā 2)] = 0 ā5x + 5 + 4y + 4 + z ā 2 = 0 ā5x + 4y + z + 7 = 0 ā5x + 4y + z = ā7 ā(5x ā4y ā z) = ā7 5x ā 4y ā z = 7 Therefore, the equation of the required plane is 5x ā 4y ā z = 7.
