Marks: +1, -0
Find the equation of the plane which contains the line of intersection of the planes r→.(i^+2j^+3k^) - 4 = 0 , r→.(2i^+j^−k^) + 5 = 0 and which is perpendicular to the plane r→.(5i^+3j^−6k^) + 8 = 0
Solution:
The equations of the given planes are
r→.(i^+2j^+3k^) - 4 = 0 ... (1)
r→.(2i^+j^−k^) + 5 = 0 ... (2)
The equation of the plane passing through the line of intersection of the given planes is
[r→.(i^+2j^+3k^)−4] + λ [r→.(2i^+j^−k^)+5] = 0
r→ [(1 + 2λ) i^ + (2 + λ) j^ + (3 - λ) k^] + (- 4 + 5λ) = 0 ... (3)
The plane in equation (3) is perpendicular to the plane, r→.(5i^+3j^−6k^) + 8 = 0
∴ 5 (1 + 2λ) + 3 (2 + λ) - 6 (3 - λ) = 0
⇒ 5 + 10λ + 6 + 3λ - 18 + 6λ = 0
⇒ 19λ - 7 = 0
⇒ λ = 719
Substituting λ = 719 in equation (3),
r→.[3319i^+4519j^+5019k^] - 4119 = 0
⇒ r→.(33i^+45j^+50k^) - 41 = 0
This is the vector equation of the required plane.
