The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the plane that passes through the point \( (2, 5, -3) \) and is perpendicular to the given planes \( x + 2y + 2z = 1 \) and \( x - 2y + 2z = 4 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the normal vectors of the given planes The normal vector of a plane given by the equation \( Ax + By + Cz = D \) is \( \vec{n} = (A, B, C) \). For the first plane \( P_1: x + 2y + 2z = 1 \): - The normal vector \( \vec{n_1} = (1, 2, 2) \). For the second plane \( P_2: x - 2y + 2z = 4 \): - The normal vector \( \vec{n_2} = (1, -2, 2) \). ### Step 2: Find the normal vector of the required plane The normal vector of the required plane will be perpendicular to both \( \vec{n_1} \) and \( \vec{n_2} \). We can find this normal vector by calculating the cross product \( \vec{n_1} \times \vec{n_2} \). \[ \vec{n_1} = (1, 2, 2), \quad \vec{n_2} = (1, -2, 2) \] Calculating the cross product: \[ \vec{n} = \vec{n_1} \times \vec{n_2} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 2 & 2 \\ 1 & -2 & 2 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating the determinant: \[ \vec{n} = \hat{i} \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 2 \\ -2 & 2 \end{vmatrix} - \hat{j} \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 \end{vmatrix} + \hat{k} \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 1 & -2 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating each of the minors: \[ \vec{n} = \hat{i} (2 \cdot 2 - 2 \cdot (-2)) - \hat{j} (1 \cdot 2 - 1 \cdot 2) + \hat{k} (1 \cdot (-2) - 1 \cdot 2) \] \[ = \hat{i} (4 + 4) - \hat{j} (2 - 2) + \hat{k} (-2 - 2) \] \[ = \hat{i} (8) - \hat{j} (0) - \hat{k} (4) \] Thus, the normal vector \( \vec{n} = (8, 0, -4) \). ### Step 3: Write the equation of the plane The general equation of a plane with normal vector \( (A, B, C) \) passing through the point \( (x_0, y_0, z_0) \) is given by: \[ A(x - x_0) + B(y - y_0) + C(z - z_0) = 0 \] Substituting \( A = 8, B = 0, C = -4 \) and the point \( (2, 5, -3) \): \[ 8(x - 2) + 0(y - 5) - 4(z + 3) = 0 \] Expanding this: \[ 8x - 16 - 4z - 12 = 0 \] Combining like terms: \[ 8x - 4z - 28 = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 8x - 4z = 28 \] Dividing through by 4: \[ 2x - z = 7 \] ### Final Equation Thus, the equation of the plane is: \[ 2x - z = 7 \]
