The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the plane passing through the point (1, 1, 1) and containing the line given by the vector equation: \[ \vec{r} = (-3 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}) + \lambda (3 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}), \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the point and direction vector of the line The line can be expressed in terms of a point and a direction vector. The point on the line is: \[ \vec{A} = -3 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}, \] and the direction vector of the line is: \[ \vec{b} = 3 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}. \] ### Step 2: Find the vector from the point on the plane to the point on the line Let the point on the plane be: \[ \vec{P} = 1 \hat{i} + 1 \hat{j} + 1 \hat{k}. \] Now, we find the vector from point A to point P: \[ \vec{AP} = \vec{P} - \vec{A} = (1 + 3) \hat{i} + (1 - 1) \hat{j} + (1 - 5) \hat{k} = 4 \hat{i} + 0 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}. \] ### Step 3: Find the normal vector to the plane The normal vector \(\vec{n}\) to the plane can be found by taking the cross product of \(\vec{AP}\) and \(\vec{b}\): \[ \vec{AP} = 4 \hat{i} + 0 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}, \] \[ \vec{b} = 3 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}. \] Calculating the cross product: \[ \vec{n} = \vec{AP} \times \vec{b} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 4 & 0 & -4 \\ 3 & -1 & 5 \end{vmatrix}. \] Calculating the determinant: \[ \vec{n} = \hat{i}(0 \cdot 5 - (-4)(-1)) - \hat{j}(4 \cdot 5 - (-4)(3)) + \hat{k}(4 \cdot (-1) - 0 \cdot 3). \] \[ = \hat{i}(0 - 4) - \hat{j}(20 + 12) + \hat{k}(-4 - 0), \] \[ = -4 \hat{i} - 32 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}. \] ### Step 4: Write the equation of the plane The equation of the plane can be expressed as: \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{n} = \vec{P} \cdot \vec{n}. \] Calculating \(\vec{P} \cdot \vec{n}\): \[ \vec{P} \cdot \vec{n} = (1 \hat{i} + 1 \hat{j} + 1 \hat{k}) \cdot (-4 \hat{i} - 32 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}) = -4 - 32 - 4 = -40. \] Thus, the equation of the plane is: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (-4 \hat{i} - 32 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}) = -40. \] ### Step 5: Convert to Cartesian form This can be written in Cartesian form as: \[ -4x - 32y - 4z = -40. \] Dividing through by -4 gives: \[ x + 8y + z = 10. \] ### Step 6: Verify if the second line lies in the plane The second line is given by: \[ \vec{r} = (-\hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}) + \lambda (\hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} - 5 \hat{k}). \] We can check if the point \((-1, 2, 5)\) lies on the plane: Substituting into the plane equation: \[ -1 + 8(2) + 5 = -1 + 16 + 5 = 20 \neq 10. \] Thus, the second line does not lie in the plane. ### Final Answer The equation of the plane is: \[ x + 8y + z = 10. \]
