Straight Line in Space Excercise: 27.2

Straight Line in Space Exercise 27.2 Question 1

Answer: three direction cosines i.e. a, b, c are perpendicular to each other
Given: show that three lines with directions cosines 1213,313,413,413,1213,313,313,413,1213; are mutually perpendicular
Hint: for mutally perpendicular
a.b=0,b.c=0,a.c=0
solution:
1st  vector a=1213i^313j^413k^
2nd  vector b=413i^+1213j^+313k^
3rd  vector c=313i^413j^+1213k^
ab=1213×413313×1213413×313=0
ac=3613×13+1213×134813×13=0
bc=1213×134813×13+3613×13=0=1248+3613×13=013×13=0
so all the three dimensions cosines are mutually perpendicular to each other .

Straight Line in Space Exercise 27.2 Question 2

Answer : the lines are perpendicular to the given points showed
Given: show that the line through the points(1,1,2)and(3,4,2) is perpendicular to the points (0,3,2)and(3,5,6)
hint: sum will solve by the help of the direction ratio
DR=(x2x1)i^+(y2y1)j^+(z2z1)k^
Solution: direction ratio of
Line1=(31),(4+1),(22)
=2i^+5j^4k^

Direction ratio of Line2=(30),(53),(62)
=3i^+2j^+4k^
For showing perpendicular,  a1a2+b1 b2+c1c2=0
Now
3.2+1016=6+1016
=0
Hence line1 and line2 are perpendicular to the points (showed)

Straight Line in Space Exercise 27.2 Question 3

Answer: The given two lines will be parallel through the two points equal to ‘0’ showed;

Given: Show that the line through the points(4,7,8)and(2,3,4) is parallel to the line through the points (1,2,1)and(1,2,5)

Hint: for showing parallel v1 and v2 must be equal to ‘0’

Solution:

v1=(42)i^+(73)j^+(84)k^v1=2i^+4j^+4k^v2=(1+1)i^+(2+2)j^+(51)k^v2=2i^+4j^+4k^

Now, cosθ=cosθ=v1v2|v1||v2|

=4+16+163636

=3636

=1

cosθ=1

cosθ=cos0

θ=0

v1v2 (proved) 

So the two lines are parallel to each other

Straight Line in Space Exercise 27.2 Question 4

Answer : the Cartesian equation which is parallel to given lines will be x+23=y45=z+56

Solution: x+x1a=yy1b=z+z1c [herea,b,care3,5,6andx,y,zis2,4,5]
now, x+23=y45=z+56
so the above line x+33=y45=z+86 is parallel to x+23=y45=z+56 and passes through the given points.

Straight Line in Space Exercise 27.2 Question 5

Answer : the given lines x57=y+25=z1 and x1=y2=z3 are perpendicular to each other

Vector a=7i^5j^+k^
Again,
x1=y2=z3
 Direction ratios =1,2,3
b=i^+2j^+3k^
ab=710+3=0
So the given two lines are perpendicular to each other (showed)

Straight Line in Space Exercise 27.2 Question 6

Solution:
v1=(20)i^+(10)j^+(10)k^v1=2i^+j^+k^v2=(43)i^+(35)j^+(1+1)k^v2=i^2j^
Now from v1v2=0
v1v2=22=0

So the line joining to the point (2,1,1) is perpendicular to the line joining by the determined points (3,5,1)and(4,3,1)

Straight Line in Space Exercise 27.2 Question 7

x+21=y32=z+12andx12=y23
= z34 and passes through the points (1,1,1). Also find the angle between the given lines
Hint: for showing perpendicular dot product must be equal to ‘0
Solution: let the cartesian equation of the line passing through the point (1,1,1) will be
x1a=y1b=z1c
Now parallel vectors are b1¯,b2¯,b3¯
From the question,
b1=a^i^+bj^+ck^b2=i^+2j^+4k^ Here b3=2i^+3j^+4k^
a+2b+4c=0.(lV)2a+3b+4c=0(V)
Solving (iv) and (v) we get
a812=b84=c34a4=b4=c1=λ
Therefore a=4λ,b=4λ,c=λ
Now putting the above makes in equation;
x14λ=y14λ=z1λx14=y14=z11 hence the vector equation is r=(i^+j^+k^)+λ(4i^+4j^k^).
