Let ` vec n` be a vector of magnitude `2sqrt(3)` such that it makes equal acute angles with the coordinate axes. Find the vector and Cartesian forms of the equation of a plane passing through `(1,-1,2)` and normal to ` vec ndot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the acute angle be `cosalpha`
since angle are equal so,
directional ratio`=cos^2alpha+cos^2alpha+cos^2alpha=1 `
`=cosalpha=1/(sqrt3)`
thus,
`vecn=2sqrt3(cosalpha hati+cosalpha hatj+cosalpha hatk)`
`vecn=2sqrt3(1/(sqrt3)hati+1/(sqrt3) hatj+1/(sqrt3) hatk)`
