The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the plane that contains the line given by the vector equation \(\vec{r} = \vec{a} + k\vec{b}\) and is perpendicular to the plane defined by \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{n} = q\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the point on the line The line is given by \(\vec{r} = \vec{a} + k\vec{b}\). Here, \(\vec{a}\) is a position vector of a point on the line. This point will also lie on the required plane. **Hint:** The point \(\vec{a}\) is essential because it provides a specific location through which the plane passes. ### Step 2: Determine the direction vectors The direction vector of the line is \(\vec{b}\). The normal vector of the plane defined by \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{n} = q\) is \(\vec{n}\). Since the required plane contains the line, both \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{n}\) are direction vectors lying in the required plane. **Hint:** Remember that the normal vector of the required plane can be found using the cross product of the two direction vectors. ### Step 3: Find the normal vector of the required plane To find the normal vector \(\vec{n_1}\) of the required plane, we take the cross product of \(\vec{n}\) and \(\vec{b}\): \[ \vec{n_1} = \vec{n} \times \vec{b} \] **Hint:** The cross product gives a vector that is perpendicular to both \(\vec{n}\) and \(\vec{b}\), which is what we need for the normal of the required plane. ### Step 4: Write the equation of the plane The general equation of a plane can be expressed as: \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{n_1} = \vec{a} \cdot \vec{n_1} \] Substituting \(\vec{n_1}\) into the equation, we have: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (\vec{n} \times \vec{b}) = \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{n} \times \vec{b}) \] **Hint:** This equation represents all points \(\vec{r}\) that lie in the required plane. ### Step 5: Rearranging the equation Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (\vec{n} \times \vec{b}) - \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{n} \times \vec{b}) = 0 \] This can be expressed as: \[ \vec{n} \times \vec{b} \cdot (\vec{r} - \vec{a}) = 0 \] **Hint:** This form emphasizes that the vector \(\vec{r} - \vec{a}\) is perpendicular to the normal vector \(\vec{n} \times \vec{b}\). ### Conclusion Thus, the equation of the required plane is: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (\vec{n} \times \vec{b}) = \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{n} \times \vec{b}) \] or equivalently, \[ \vec{r} - \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{n} \times \vec{b}) = 0 \] ### Final Answer The equation of the plane containing the line and perpendicular to the given plane is: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (\vec{n} \times \vec{b}) = \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{n} \times \vec{b}) \]
