The correct Answer is:
To find the vector equation of the plane passing through the points given in vector form, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Points We have three points in vector form: - \( A = \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k} \) - \( B = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) - \( C = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) ### Step 2: Find Vectors in the Plane We can find two vectors that lie in the plane by subtracting the position vectors of these points: - \( \vec{AB} = \vec{B} - \vec{A} = (2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}) - (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) \) \[ \vec{AB} = (2 - 1)\hat{i} + (-1 - 1)\hat{j} + (1 + 2)\hat{k} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \] - \( \vec{BC} = \vec{C} - \vec{B} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}) - (2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}) \) \[ \vec{BC} = (1 - 2)\hat{i} + (1 + 1)\hat{j} + (1 - 1)\hat{k} = -\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 0\hat{k} \] ### Step 3: Find the Normal Vector To find the normal vector \( \vec{n} \) to the plane, we take the cross product of \( \vec{AB} \) and \( \vec{BC} \): \[ \vec{n} = \vec{AB} \times \vec{BC} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & -2 & 3 \\ -1 & 2 & 0 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating the determinant: \[ \vec{n} = \hat{i} \begin{vmatrix} -2 & 3 \\ 2 & 0 \end{vmatrix} - \hat{j} \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ -1 & 0 \end{vmatrix} + \hat{k} \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 2 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating each of the 2x2 determinants: 1. \( \begin{vmatrix} -2 & 3 \\ 2 & 0 \end{vmatrix} = (-2)(0) - (3)(2) = -6 \) 2. \( \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ -1 & 0 \end{vmatrix} = (1)(0) - (3)(-1) = 3 \) 3. \( \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = (1)(2) - (-2)(-1) = 2 - 2 = 0 \) Putting it all together: \[ \vec{n} = -6\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 0\hat{k} = -6\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Normal Vector We can factor out -3: \[ \vec{n} = -3(2\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \] ### Step 5: Use a Point to Write the Plane Equation Using point \( C \) (or any point) to write the equation of the plane: \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{n} = \vec{C} \cdot \vec{n} \] Where \( \vec{r} \) is any point on the plane. Calculating \( \vec{C} \cdot \vec{n} \): \[ \vec{C} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}, \quad \vec{n} = -3(2\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \] \[ \vec{C} \cdot \vec{n} = (1)(-6) + (1)(-3) + (0)(0) = -6 - 3 = -9 \] Thus, the equation of the plane can be written as: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} + \hat{j}) = -3 \] ### Final Answer The vector equation of the plane is: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} + \hat{j}) = 3 \]
