The correct Answer is:
To find the equations of the planes that pass through the given points, we will follow a systematic approach. ### Part (a): Points (1, 1, -1), (6, 4, -5), (-4, -2, 3) 1. **Define the Points as Vectors**: Let the points be represented as vectors: - \( A = (1, 1, -1) \) - \( B = (6, 4, -5) \) - \( C = (-4, -2, 3) \) 2. **Calculate Vectors \( \vec{B} - \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{C} - \vec{A} \)**: - \( \vec{B} - \vec{A} = (6 - 1, 4 - 1, -5 + 1) = (5, 3, -4) \) - \( \vec{C} - \vec{A} = (-4 - 1, -2 - 1, 3 + 1) = (-5, -3, 4) \) 3. **Cross Product of \( \vec{B} - \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{C} - \vec{A} \)**: We will calculate the cross product \( (\vec{B} - \vec{A}) \times (\vec{C} - \vec{A}) \): \[ \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 5 & 3 & -4 \\ -5 & -3 & 4 \end{vmatrix} \] - The determinant expands to: \[ \hat{i}(3 \cdot 4 - (-4)(-3)) - \hat{j}(5 \cdot 4 - (-4)(-5)) + \hat{k}(5 \cdot (-3) - 3 \cdot (-5)) \] - Calculating it: \[ = \hat{i}(12 - 12) - \hat{j}(20 - 20) + \hat{k}(-15 + 15) = \hat{i}(0) - \hat{j}(0) + \hat{k}(0) = (0, 0, 0) \] 4. **Conclusion**: Since the cross product is zero, the points are collinear, meaning that an infinite number of planes can pass through these points. ### Part (b): Points (1, 1, 0), (1, 2, 1), (-2, 2, -1) 1. **Define the Points as Vectors**: Let the points be represented as vectors: - \( A = (1, 1, 0) \) - \( B = (1, 2, 1) \) - \( C = (-2, 2, -1) \) 2. **Calculate Vectors \( \vec{B} - \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{C} - \vec{A} \)**: - \( \vec{B} - \vec{A} = (1 - 1, 2 - 1, 1 - 0) = (0, 1, 1) \) - \( \vec{C} - \vec{A} = (-2 - 1, 2 - 1, -1 - 0) = (-3, 1, -1) \) 3. **Cross Product of \( \vec{B} - \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{C} - \vec{A} \)**: We will calculate the cross product \( (\vec{B} - \vec{A}) \times (\vec{C} - \vec{A}) \): \[ \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ -3 & 1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} \] - The determinant expands to: \[ \hat{i}(1 \cdot (-1) - 1 \cdot 1) - \hat{j}(0 \cdot (-1) - 1 \cdot (-3)) + \hat{k}(0 \cdot 1 - 1 \cdot (-3)) \] - Calculating it: \[ = \hat{i}(-1 - 1) - \hat{j}(0 + 3) + \hat{k}(0 + 3) = \hat{i}(-2) - \hat{j}(3) + \hat{k}(3) = (-2, -3, 3) \] 4. **Equation of the Plane**: The equation of the plane can be expressed as: \[ \vec{r} - \vec{A} \cdot \vec{n} = 0 \] Where \( \vec{n} = (-2, -3, 3) \) and \( \vec{A} = (1, 1, 0) \): \[ -2(x - 1) - 3(y - 1) + 3(z - 0) = 0 \] Simplifying: \[ -2x + 2 - 3y + 3 + 3z = 0 \implies -2x - 3y + 3z + 5 = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2x + 3y - 3z = 5 \] ### Summary of Solutions: - **Part (a)**: Infinite number of planes can pass through the points (1, 1, -1), (6, 4, -5), (-4, -2, 3). - **Part (b)**: The equation of the plane is \( 2x + 3y - 3z = 5 \).
