The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the member of the family of planes \( P \) that contains the line \( L \) and is at a maximum distance from the point \( A(1, 0, 0) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Line \( L \)**: The line \( L \) is given by the symmetric equations: \[ \frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y-1}{-3} = \frac{z+10}{8} \] From this, we can extract the direction ratios of the line: \[ \text{Direction ratios} = (2, -3, 8) \] 2. **Find a Point on the Line \( L \)**: To find a point on the line, we can set the parameter \( t = 0 \): \[ x = 1 + 2(0) = 1, \quad y = 1 - 3(0) = 1, \quad z = -10 + 8(0) = -10 \] Thus, a point \( B \) on the line \( L \) is \( B(1, 1, -10) \). 3. **Equation of the Plane**: The general equation of a plane can be expressed as: \[ Ax + By + Cz = D \] Since the plane contains the line \( L \), the normal vector \( \vec{n} \) of the plane must be perpendicular to the direction ratios of the line. Therefore, we have: \[ 2A - 3B + 8C = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] 4. **Distance from Point \( A(1, 0, 0) \) to the Plane**: The distance \( d \) from a point \( (x_0, y_0, z_0) \) to the plane \( Ax + By + Cz = D \) is given by: \[ d = \frac{|Ax_0 + By_0 + Cz_0 - D|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} \] Substituting \( (x_0, y_0, z_0) = (1, 0, 0) \): \[ d = \frac{|A(1) + B(0) + C(0) - D|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} = \frac{|A - D|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} \quad \text{(2)} \] 5. **Substituting for \( D \)**: Since the plane passes through point \( B(1, 1, -10) \), we can substitute \( (x, y, z) = (1, 1, -10) \) into the plane equation: \[ A(1) + B(1) + C(-10) = D \quad \Rightarrow \quad A + B - 10C = D \quad \text{(3)} \] 6. **Maximizing the Distance**: We need to maximize the distance \( d \) from point \( A(1, 0, 0) \). From equations (1), (2), and (3), we can express \( D \) in terms of \( A, B, C \) and substitute into the distance formula. Using the relation from (1): \[ D = A + B - 10C \] Substitute \( D \) into (2): \[ d = \frac{|A - (A + B - 10C)|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} = \frac{|10C - B|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} \] 7. **Using the Relation \( B = 10C \)**: From the relation \( 2A - 3B + 8C = 0 \): Substitute \( B = 10C \): \[ 2A - 3(10C) + 8C = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2A - 30C + 8C = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2A = 22C \quad \Rightarrow \quad A = 11C \] 8. **Final Equation of the Plane**: Substitute \( A = 11C \) and \( B = 10C \) into the plane equation: \[ 11Cx + 10Cy + Cz = D \] Simplifying gives: \[ 11x + 10y + z = k \quad \text{where } k \text{ is a constant.} \] 9. **Finding the Constant**: To find the specific plane, we can set \( k = 11 \) (as it satisfies the distance condition), leading to the final equation: \[ 11x + 10y + z = 11 \] ### Conclusion: The member of the family of planes \( P \) that is situated at a maximum distance from \( A(1, 0, 0) \) is: \[ \boxed{11x + 10y + z = 11} \]
