The correct Answer is:
To determine the relationship between the variables \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) given the coplanar points \( A, B, C, D \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Points The points are given as: - \( A = (2-x, 2, 2) \) - \( B = (2, 2-y, 2) \) - \( C = (2, 2, 2-z) \) - \( D = (1, 1, 1) \) ### Step 2: Find Vectors To analyze the coplanarity, we need to find vectors from point \( A \) to points \( B \), \( C \), and \( D \): - Vector \( \vec{AB} = B - A = (2 - (2-x), (2-y) - 2, 2 - 2) = (x, -y, 0) \) - Vector \( \vec{AC} = C - A = (2 - (2-x), 2 - 2, (2-z) - 2) = (x, 0, -z) \) - Vector \( \vec{AD} = D - A = (1 - (2-x), 1 - 2, 1 - 2) = (x - 1, -1, -1) \) ### Step 3: Set Up the Determinant The points are coplanar if the volume of the parallelepiped formed by these vectors is zero. This can be expressed using the determinant of a matrix formed by these vectors: \[ \begin{vmatrix} x & -y & 0 \\ x & 0 & -z \\ x - 1 & -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Determinant We will compute the determinant: \[ \text{Det} = x \begin{vmatrix} 0 & -z \\ -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} - (-y) \begin{vmatrix} x & -z \\ x - 1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} + 0 \begin{vmatrix} x & 0 \\ x - 1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating the first determinant: \[ \begin{vmatrix} 0 & -z \\ -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \cdot (-1) - (-z)(-1) = -z \] Calculating the second determinant: \[ \begin{vmatrix} x & -z \\ x - 1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = x(-1) - (-z)(x - 1) = -x + z(x - 1) = zx - z - x \] Putting it all together: \[ \text{Det} = x(-z) + y(zx - z - x) = -xz + y(zx - z - x) \] ### Step 5: Set the Determinant to Zero Setting the determinant to zero gives us: \[ -xz + y(zx - z - x) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Equation Expanding and rearranging: \[ -xz + yzx - yz - yx = 0 \] This can be rearranged to: \[ y(zx - y - x) = xz \] ### Step 7: Final Relationship From the above equation, we can derive the relationship: \[ \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z} = 1 \]
