The correct Answer is:
To find the vector equation of the plane passing through the origin and the line of intersection of the planes defined by the equations \( \vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} = \lambda \) and \( \vec{r} \cdot \vec{b} = \mu \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Planes**: The equations \( \vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} = \lambda \) and \( \vec{r} \cdot \vec{b} = \mu \) represent two planes in three-dimensional space. The line of intersection of these two planes can be described by a linear combination of these two equations. 2. **Equation of the Plane through the Intersection**: The general equation of a plane passing through the line of intersection of two planes can be expressed as: \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} - \lambda + k(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{b} - \mu) = 0 \] where \( k \) is a constant. 3. **Condition for the Plane to Pass Through the Origin**: Since the plane must pass through the origin, we substitute \( \vec{r} = \vec{0} \) into the equation: \[ \vec{0} \cdot \vec{a} - \lambda + k(\vec{0} \cdot \vec{b} - \mu) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -\lambda - k\mu = 0 \] From this, we can solve for \( k \): \[ k = -\frac{\lambda}{\mu} \] 4. **Substituting \( k \) Back into the Plane Equation**: Now substitute \( k \) back into the equation of the plane: \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} - \lambda - \frac{-\lambda}{\mu}(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{b} - \mu) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} - \lambda + \frac{\lambda}{\mu} \vec{r} \cdot \vec{b} - \lambda = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} + \frac{\lambda}{\mu} \vec{r} \cdot \vec{b} - 2\lambda = 0 \] 5. **Final Form of the Plane Equation**: We can factor out \( \vec{r} \): \[ \vec{r} \cdot \left( \vec{a} + \frac{\lambda}{\mu} \vec{b} \right) - 2\lambda = 0 \] Thus, the final vector equation of the plane is: \[ \vec{r} \cdot \left( \mu \vec{a} - \lambda \vec{b} \right) = 0 \] ### Final Answer: The vector equation of the plane is: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (\mu \vec{a} - \lambda \vec{b}) = 0 \]
