The correct Answer is:
To find the value of `lambda` for the given planes to be perpendicular, we will solve the problem step by step. ### Part (i) 1. **Identify the normal vectors from the plane equations.** - The first plane is given by the equation: \[ 2x - 4y + 3z + 1 = 0 \] The normal vector \( \vec{n_1} \) can be extracted as: \[ \vec{n_1} = \langle 2, -4, 3 \rangle \] - The second plane is given by the equation: \[ x + 2y + \lambda z = 3 \] Rearranging it gives: \[ x + 2y + \lambda z - 3 = 0 \] The normal vector \( \vec{n_2} \) is: \[ \vec{n_2} = \langle 1, 2, \lambda \rangle \] 2. **Set up the condition for perpendicularity.** - For the planes to be perpendicular, their normal vectors must also be perpendicular. This means: \[ \vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2} = 0 \] 3. **Calculate the dot product.** - The dot product is calculated as follows: \[ \vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2} = (2)(1) + (-4)(2) + (3)(\lambda) = 0 \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ 2 - 8 + 3\lambda = 0 \] \[ 3\lambda - 6 = 0 \] 4. **Solve for `lambda`.** - Rearranging gives: \[ 3\lambda = 6 \implies \lambda = 2 \] ### Part (ii) 1. **Identify the normal vectors from the plane equations.** - The first plane is given by: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (3\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) = 1 \] The normal vector \( \vec{n_1} \) is: \[ \vec{n_1} = \langle 3, -6, -2 \rangle \] - The second plane is given by: \[ \vec{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \lambda\hat{k}) = 2 \] The normal vector \( \vec{n_2} \) is: \[ \vec{n_2} = \langle 2, 1, -\lambda \rangle \] 2. **Set up the condition for perpendicularity.** - Again, for the planes to be perpendicular: \[ \vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2} = 0 \] 3. **Calculate the dot product.** - The dot product is: \[ \vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2} = (3)(2) + (-6)(1) + (-2)(-\lambda) = 0 \] - Simplifying gives: \[ 6 - 6 + 2\lambda = 0 \] \[ 2\lambda = 0 \] 4. **Solve for `lambda`.** - This gives: \[ \lambda = 0 \] ### Final Answers - For part (i), \( \lambda = 2 \) - For part (ii), \( \lambda = 0 \)
