The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( m \) for which the line \[ \vec{r} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k} + \lambda(2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) \] is parallel to the plane \[ \vec{r} \cdot (3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + m\hat{k}) = 5, \] we will proceed with the following steps: ### Step 1: Identify the direction vector of the line The equation of the line can be expressed in the form: \[ \vec{r} = \vec{a} + \lambda \vec{b} \] where \( \vec{a} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k} \) and \( \vec{b} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2\hat{k} \). ### Step 2: Identify the normal vector of the plane The equation of the plane can be rewritten in the form: \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{n} = d \] where \( \vec{n} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + m\hat{k} \) is the normal vector of the plane. ### Step 3: Set the condition for parallelism For the line to be parallel to the plane, the direction vector \( \vec{b} \) must be perpendicular to the normal vector \( \vec{n} \). This means that their dot product must equal zero: \[ \vec{b} \cdot \vec{n} = 0 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the dot product Substituting \( \vec{b} \) and \( \vec{n} \): \[ (2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) \cdot (3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + m\hat{k}) = 0 \] Calculating the dot product: \[ 2 \cdot 3 + 1 \cdot (-2) + 2 \cdot m = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6 - 2 + 2m = 0 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( m \) Now, we can simplify the equation: \[ 4 + 2m = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2m = -4 \] Dividing by 2: \[ m = -2 \] ### Conclusion The value of \( m \) for which the line is parallel to the plane is \[ \boxed{-2} \]
