The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we will break it down into two parts as per the question. ### Part (i): Find the vector equation of the line passing through (1,2,3) and parallel to the planes. 1. **Identify the position vector of the point**: The point given is (1, 2, 3). The position vector \( \vec{a} \) can be written as: \[ \vec{a} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \] 2. **Find the normal vectors of the planes**: The equations of the planes are given as: - Plane 1: \( \vec{r} \cdot (\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) = 5 \) - Plane 2: \( \vec{r} \cdot (3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}) = 6 \) The normal vector for Plane 1, \( \vec{n_1} \), is: \[ \vec{n_1} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k} \] The normal vector for Plane 2, \( \vec{n_2} \), is: \[ \vec{n_2} = 3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} \] 3. **Calculate the direction vector of the line**: The line we are looking for is parallel to both planes, which means it is perpendicular to both normal vectors. To find a direction vector \( \vec{b} \) for the line, we take the cross product of \( \vec{n_1} \) and \( \vec{n_2} \): \[ \vec{b} = \vec{n_1} \times \vec{n_2} \] Calculating the cross product: \[ \vec{b} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \] Expanding this determinant: \[ \vec{b} = \hat{i}((-1)(1) - (2)(1)) - \hat{j}((1)(1) - (2)(3)) + \hat{k}((1)(1) - (-1)(3)) \] \[ = \hat{i}(-1 - 2) - \hat{j}(1 - 6) + \hat{k}(1 + 3) \] \[ = -3\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 4\hat{k} \] 4. **Write the vector equation of the line**: The vector equation of the line can be expressed as: \[ \vec{r} = \vec{a} + \lambda \vec{b} \] Substituting \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \): \[ \vec{r} = (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) + \lambda(-3\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) \] ### Final Equation for Part (i): \[ \vec{r} = (1 - 3\lambda)\hat{i} + (2 + 5\lambda)\hat{j} + (3 + 4\lambda)\hat{k} \] --- ### Part (ii): Find the vector equation of the straight line passing through (1,2,3) and perpendicular to the plane. 1. **Identify the position vector of the point**: The point is again (1, 2, 3), so: \[ \vec{a} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \] 2. **Find the normal vector of the plane**: The equation of the plane is given as: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}) + 9 = 0 \] The normal vector \( \vec{n} \) of this plane is: \[ \vec{n} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 5\hat{k} \] 3. **Write the vector equation of the line**: The line is perpendicular to the plane, which means its direction vector is the same as the normal vector of the plane. Thus, the vector equation of the line is: \[ \vec{r} = \vec{a} + \mu \vec{n} \] Substituting \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{n} \): \[ \vec{r} = (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) + \mu(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}) \] ### Final Equation for Part (ii): \[ \vec{r} = (1 + \mu)\hat{i} + (2 + 2\mu)\hat{j} + (3 - 5\mu)\hat{k} \] ---
