Where a, b, c are direction ratio
$A = (1,2,5)$ and $B = (-1,3,1)$
$A B=\frac{x}{-2}=\frac{y}{1}=\frac{z}{-4}$
$(-2, 1, -4)$ are direction ratio.
Direction ratio of the plane will be equal to direction ratio of the line joining two point
$\therefore a=-2, b=1, c=-4$
Put the value of a, b, c in equ (1)
Equ of plane

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 9

Answer:
The answer of given question is $2x+3y-z=14$
Hint:
By using formula $\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z}$
Given:
P is the point $(2,3,-1)$ and the require plane is passing through P at right angle to OP.
Solution:
As per the given criteria, it means that the plane is passing through P and OP is the vector normal to the plane.
Let the position vector of the point P be.
$\vec{n}=2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k} \ldots \ldots(i)$
And it is also given the planes is normal to the line joining the points O(0,0,0) and P(2,-3,1).
Then $\vec{n}=\overrightarrow{O P}$
? $\vec{n}$ =position vector of $\vec{P}$$-$ Position vector of $\vec{n}$
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{n}=(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})-(0 \hat{\imath}+0 \hat{\jmath}+0 \hat{k}) \\ &\vec{n}=2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k} \ldots \ldots .(i i) \end{aligned}$
We know that
$(\vec{r}-\vec{a}) \cdot \vec{n}=0$
Substituting the values from equ (i) and equ (ii) in the above equ we get
$\begin{aligned} &{[\vec{r}-(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})] \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})=0} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})-(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k}) \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r}-(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})-[(2)(2)+(3)(3)+(-1)(-1)]=0 \end{aligned}$
By multiplying the two vectors using the formula
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})-[4+9+1]=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})-14=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})=14 \end{aligned}$
Then, the above vector equation of the plane becomes
$(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k}) \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})=14$
By multiplying the two vectors using the formula
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z} \\ &\Rightarrow(x)(2)+(y)(3)+(z)(-1)=14 \\ &\Rightarrow 2 x+3 y-z=14 \end{aligned}$
This is the cartesian form of equation of the required plane.

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 10

Answer:
The answer of given question is $\frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{3},-\frac{2}{3}$
Hint:
Dividing by 3 on both sides.
Given:
The given equation of the plane is $2x+y-2z=3$
Solution:
Dividing by 3 on both sides, we get
$\begin{aligned} &\frac{2 x}{3}+\frac{y}{3}-\frac{2 z}{3}=\frac{3}{3} \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{x}{3}}{2}+\frac{y}{3}-\frac{\frac{z}{3}}{2}=1 \ldots (i) \end{aligned}$
We know that if a,b,c are the intercepts by the plane on thee co-ordinates axes, then equation of the plane is
$\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}=1$
Comparing the equation (i) and (ii) we get
$a=\frac{3}{2}, \quad b=3, \quad c=-\frac{3}{2}$
Again the given equation of the plane is $2x+y-2z=3$ writing this in vector form, we get
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k}) \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}-2 \hat{k})=3 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}-2 \hat{k})=3 \end{aligned}$
So vector normal to the plane is given by
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{n}=2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}-2 k \\ &\Rightarrow|\vec{n}|=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(1)^{2}+(-2)^{2}} \\ &\Rightarrow|\vec{n}|=\sqrt{4+1+4} \\ &\Rightarrow|\vec{n}|=3 \end{aligned}$
Direction vector of $\vec{n}=2,1,-2$
Direction vector of $\vec{n}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{2}{|\vec{n}|}, \frac{1}{|\vec{n}|}, \frac{-2}{|\vec{n}|} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{n}=\frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{3},-\frac{2}{3} \end{aligned}$
So,
Intercepts by the plane on the co-ordinate axes are $=\frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{3},-\frac{2}{3}$
Direction cosines of normal to the plane are $=\frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{3},-\frac{2}{3}$

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 11

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 12

Answer:
The answer of given question is $2x+2y+2z=18$
Hint:
$\vec{a}=\frac{\text { Position vector of } A+\text { Position vector of } B}{2}$
Given:
The given plane bisects the line segment joining points$A(1,2,3)$ and $B(3,4,5)$ and is at right angle to it..
Solution:
As the given plane bisects the line segment
Therefore,
$\vec{a}=\frac{\text { Position vector of } A+\text { Position vector of } B}{2}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \vec{a}=\frac{(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})+(3 \hat{\imath}+4 \hat{\jmath}+5 \hat{k})}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{a}=\frac{4 \hat{\imath}+6 \hat{\jmath}+8 \hat{k}}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{a}=2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k} \ldots(i) \end{aligned}$
And it is also given the plane B normal to the line joining the points $A(1,2,3)$ and $B(3,4,5)$
Then $\vec{n}=\overrightarrow{A B}$
? $\vec{n}$ = position vector of$\vec{B}$ $-$ Position vector of $\vec{A}$
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{n}=(3 \hat{\imath}+4 \hat{\jmath}+5 \hat{k})-(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k}) \\ &\vec{n}=2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k} \ldots(i i) \end{aligned}$
We know that
$(\vec{r}-\vec{a}) \cdot \vec{n}=0$
Substituting the values from equation (i) and equation (ii) in the above equation we get
$\begin{aligned} &{[\vec{r}-(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k})] \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})=0} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})-(2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k}) \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})-[(2)(2)+(3)(2)+(4)(2)]=0 \end{aligned}$
By multiplying the two vectors using the formula
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})-[4+6+8]=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})-18=0 \\ &\Rightarrow 2 x+2 y+2 z=18 \end{aligned}$
This is the cartesian form of equation of the required plane.

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 13(i)

Answer:
The normal to the given pairs of planes are perpendicular to each other.
Hint:
$\overrightarrow{n_{1}} \cdot \overrightarrow{n_{2}}=0$
Given:
$\begin{aligned} &x-y+z-2=0 \\ &3 x+2 y-z+4=0 \end{aligned}$
Solution:
The vector equation of the planes $x-y+z-2=0$ can be written as
$\begin{aligned} &(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k})(\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})=2 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})=2 \end{aligned}$
The normal to this plane is $\overrightarrow{n_{1}}=\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+\hat{k} \ldots(\mathrm{i})$
The vector equation of the plane $3 x+2 y-z+4=0$ can be written as
$\begin{aligned} &(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k})(3 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})=-4 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(3 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})=-4 \end{aligned}$
The normal to this plane is
$\overrightarrow{n_{2}}=3 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k} \ldots(ii)$
Now,
$\begin{aligned} &\overrightarrow{n_{1}} \cdot \overrightarrow{n_{2}}=(\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+\hat{k}) \cdot(3 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-\hat{k}) \\ &\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{n_{1}} \cdot \overrightarrow{n_{2}}=(1)(3)+(-1)(2)+(1)(-1)=0 \end{aligned}$
Hence $\overrightarrow{n_{1}}$ is perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{n_{2}}$
Therefore, the normal to the given pair of planes are perpendicular to each other.

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 13(ii)

Answer:
The normal to the given pairs of planes are perpendicular to each other.
Hint:
$\overrightarrow{n_{1}} \cdot \overrightarrow{n_{2}}=0$
Given:
$\vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})=5 \text { and } \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}-2 \hat{k})=5$
Solution:
The equation of the first plane is
$\vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})=5$
The normal to this plane is
$\overrightarrow{n_{1}}=2 \hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k} \ldots(i)$
The equation of the second plane is
$\vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}-2 \hat{k})=5$
The normal to this plane is
$\overrightarrow{n_{2}}=2 \hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}-2 \hat{k} \ldots(ii)$
Now,
$\begin{aligned} &\overrightarrow{n_{1}} \cdot \overrightarrow{n_{2}}=(2 \hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k}) \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}-2 \hat{k}) \\ &\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{n_{1}} \cdot \overrightarrow{n_{2}}=(2)(2)+(-1)(-2)+(3)(-2)=0 \end{aligned}$
Hence $\overrightarrow{n_{1}}$ is perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{n_{2}}$
Therefore, the normal to the given pair of planes are perpendicular to each other.

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 14

Answer:
The answer of given question is the normal vector to the plane $2x+2y+2z=3$ is equally inclined with the co-ordinate axes.
Hint:
Let α,β,γ be the angle that normal $\vec{n}$ makes with the co-ordinate axes
Given:
$2x+2y+2z=3$
Solution:
The vector equation of the plane $2x+2y+2z=3$ can be written as
$\begin{aligned} &(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k}) \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})=3 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})=3 \end{aligned}$
The normal to this plane is
$\vec{n}=2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k} \ldots(i)$
Direction ratio of $\vec{n}=2,2,2$
Direction cosine of
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{n}=\frac{2}{|\vec{n}|}, \frac{2}{|\vec{n}|}, \frac{2}{|\vec{n}|} \\ &\Rightarrow|\vec{n}|=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(2)^{2}+(-2)^{2}} \\ &\Rightarrow|\vec{n}|=\sqrt{4+4+4} \\ &\Rightarrow|\vec{n}|=2 \sqrt{3} \end{aligned}$
Direction cosine of
$|\vec{n}|=\frac{2}{2 \sqrt{3}}, \frac{2}{2 \sqrt{3}}, \frac{2}{2 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
So,
$l=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, m=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, n=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Let α,β,γ be the angle that normal $\vec{n}$ makes with the co-ordinate axes respectively.
$\begin{aligned} &l=\cos \alpha=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \\ &\Rightarrow \alpha=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \ldots(i i) \\ &\Rightarrow \beta=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \ldots(i i i) \\ &\Rightarrow \gamma=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \ldots(i v) \end{aligned}$
Hence α = β = γ
So the normal vector to the plane $2x+2y+2z=3$ is equally inclined with the co-ordinate axes.

12 chapter The Plane exercise 28.3 question 15

Answer:
The answer of given question is $24 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{\jmath}+8 \hat{k}$
Hint:
$\vec{r}=(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k})$
Given:
$12x-3y+4z=1$
Solution:
The vector equation of the plane $12x-3y+4z=1$ can be written as
$\begin{aligned} &(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k}) \cdot(12 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k})=1 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(12 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k})=1 \end{aligned}$
The normal to this plane is
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{n}=12 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k} \ldots(i) \\ &|\vec{n}|=\sqrt{(12)^{2}+(-3)^{2}+(4)^{2}} \\ &\Rightarrow|\vec{n}|=\sqrt{144+9+16} \\ &\Rightarrow|\vec{n}|=\sqrt{169} \\ &=13 \end{aligned}$
The unit vector becomes
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{n}=\frac{12 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k}}{13} \\ &=\frac{12}{13} \hat{\imath}-\frac{3}{13} \hat{\jmath}+\frac{4}{13} \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
Now a vector normal to the plane with the magnitude 26 will be
$\begin{aligned} &=26 \vec{n} \\ &\Rightarrow 26\left(\frac{12}{13} \hat{\imath}-\frac{3}{13} \hat{\jmath}+\frac{4}{13} \hat{k}\right) \\ &\Rightarrow 24 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{\jmath}+8 \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
A vector of magnitude 26 units normal to the plane is $24 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{\jmath}+8 \hat{k}$

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 16

Answer:
The answer of given question is $-14x+6y+2z=178$ or $-7x+3y+z=89$
Hint:
By using formula $\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z}$
Given:
$A(4,-1,2)$ and $B(-10, 5,4).$
Solution:
It means that the plane is passing through $B(-10, 5,4).$
Therefore, the position vector of this point is,
$\Rightarrow \vec{a}=-10 \hat{\imath}+5 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k} \ldots(i)$
And also given the line segment joining the points $A(4,-1,2)$ and $B(-10, 5,4).$ and is at right angle to it.
Then $\vec{n}=\overrightarrow{A B}$
? $\vec{n}$ =position vector of $\vec{B}$ $-$ Position vector of $\vec{A}$
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{n}=(-10 \hat{\imath}+5 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k})-(4 \hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}) \\ &\vec{n}=-14 \hat{\imath}+6 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k} \ldots(i i) \end{aligned}$
We know that
$(\vec{r}-\vec{a}) \cdot \vec{n}=0$
Substituting the values from equation (i) and equation (ii) in the above equation we get
$\begin{aligned} &{[\vec{r}-(-10 \hat{\imath}+5 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k})] \cdot(-14 \hat{\imath}+6 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})=0} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(-14 \hat{\imath}+6 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})-(-10 \hat{\imath}+5 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k}) \cdot(-14 \hat{\imath}+6 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(-14 \hat{\imath}+6 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})-[(-10)(-14)+(5)(6)+(4)(2)]=0 \end{aligned}$
By multiplying the two vectors using the formula
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(-14 \hat{\imath}+6 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})-[140+30+8]=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(-14 \hat{\imath}+6 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})-178=0 \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(-14 \hat{\imath}+6 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k})=178$ is the vector equation of a required plane.
$\vec{r}=(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k})$
Then the above vector equation of a plane becomes,
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow(x)(-14)+(y)(6)+(z)(2)=178 \\ &\Rightarrow-14 x+6 y+2 z=178 \text { or }-7 x+3 y+z=89 \end{aligned}$
This is the cartesian form of equation of the required plane.

Given:
$(-1,2,3)\; and \; (3,-5,6).$
Solution:
It means that the plane is passing through the midpoint of the line AB.
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{a}=\frac{\text { Position vector of } A+\text { Position vector of } B}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{a}=\frac{(-\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})+(3 \hat{\imath}-5 \hat{\jmath}+6 \hat{k})}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{a}=\frac{2 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+9 \hat{k}}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{a}=\hat{\imath}-\frac{3}{2} \hat{\jmath}+\frac{9}{2} \hat{k} \ldots(i) \end{aligned}$
And also given the plane B normal to the line joining the points $A(-1,2,3) \; and \; B(3,-5,6)$
Then $\vec{n}=\overrightarrow{A B}$
? $\vec{n}$ = position vector of $\vec{B}$ $-$ Position vector of $\vec{A}$
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{n}=(3 \hat{\imath}-5 \hat{\jmath}+6 \hat{k})-(-\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k}) \\ &\vec{n}=4 \hat{\imath}-7 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k} \ldots(i i) \end{aligned}$
We know that
$(\vec{r}-\vec{a}) \cdot \vec{n}=0$
Substituting the values from equation (i) and equation (ii) in the above equation we get$\begin{aligned} &{\left[\vec{r}-\left(\hat{\imath}-\frac{3}{2} \hat{\jmath}+\frac{9}{2} \hat{k}\right)\right] \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-7 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})=0} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-7 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})-\left(\hat{\imath}-\frac{3}{2} \hat{\jmath}+\frac{9}{2} \hat{k}\right) \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-7 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-7 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})-\left[(1)(4)+\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)(-7)+\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)(3)\right]=0 \end{aligned}$
By multiplying the two vectors using the formula
$\vec{A} . \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-7 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})-\left[4+\frac{21}{2}+\frac{27}{2}\right]=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-7 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})-\left[\frac{8+21+27}{2}\right]=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-7 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})-28=0 \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-7 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})=28$ is the vector equation of a required plane.
$\vec{r}=(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k})$
Then the above vector equation of a plane becomes,
$(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k}) \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-7 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k})=28$
Now multiplying the two vectors using the formula
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z} \\ &\Rightarrow(x)(4)+(y)(-7)+(z)(3)=28 \\ &\Rightarrow 4 x-7 y+3 z=28 \end{aligned}$
This is the cartesian form of equation of the required plane.

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 19

Answer:
The answer of given question is $x+2y-3z=14$
Hint:
By using formula $\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z}$
Given:
The plane is passing through $P(1,2,-3)$ and perpendicular to OP
Solution:
The required plane is passing through $P(1,2,-3)$ and perpendicular to OP. let the position vector of this point P be
$\Rightarrow \vec{a}=\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k} \ldots(i)$
And it is also given the planes is normal to the line joining the points $O(0,0,0)$ and position vector of point $P(1,2,-3).$
Then
$\vec{n}=\overrightarrow{O P}$
? $\vec{n}$ = position vector of$\vec{P}$ $-$ Position vector of $\vec{A}$
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{n}=(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})-(0 \hat{\imath}+0 \hat{\jmath}+0 \hat{k}) \\ &\vec{n}=\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k} \ldots .(i i) \end{aligned}$
We know that
$(\vec{r}-\vec{a}) \cdot \vec{n}=0$
Substituting the values from equation (i) and equation (ii) in the above equation we get
$\begin{aligned} &{[\vec{r}-(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})] \cdot(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})=0} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})-(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k}) \cdot(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r}-(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})-[(1)(1)+(2)(2)+(-3)(-3)]=0 \end{aligned}$
By multiplying the two vectors using the formula
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})-[1+4+9]=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})-14=0 \end{aligned}$is the vector equation of the required plane
$\operatorname{Let} \vec{r}=(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k})$
Then, the above vector equation of the plane becomes
$(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k}) \cdot(\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}-3 \hat{k})=14$
Now multiplying the two vectors using the formula
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z} \\ &\Rightarrow(x)(1)+(y)(2)+(z)(-3)=14 \\ &\Rightarrow x+2 y-3 z=14 \end{aligned}$
This is the cartesian form of equation of the required plane.

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 20

Answer:
The answer of given question is $a x+b y+c z=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}$
Hint:
$\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z}$
Given:
The required plane is passing through A(a,b,c) and perpendicular to OA.
Solution:
Let the position vector of this point A be
$\vec{a}=a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k} \ldots(i)$
And it is also given the planes is normal to the line joining the points O(0,0,0) and position vector of point A(a,b,c)
Then
$\vec{n}=\overrightarrow{O A}$
$\Rightarrow \vec{n}$ = position vector of $\vec{A}$ - Position vector of $\vec{O}$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \vec{n}=(a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k})-(0 \hat{\imath}+0 \hat{\jmath}+0 \hat{k}) \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{n}=a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k} \ldots .(i i) \end{aligned}$
The direction ratio of OA are proportional to a,b,c.
Hence, the direction cosines are
$\frac{a}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}}, \frac{b}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}}, \frac{c}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}}$
We know that
$(\vec{r}-\vec{a}) \cdot \vec{n}=0$
Substituting the values from equation (i) and equation (ii) in the above equation we get
$\begin{aligned} &{[\vec{r}-(a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k})] \cdot(a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k})=0} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k})-(a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k}) \cdot(a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k})=0 \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k})-\left[a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right]=0$
By multiplying the two vectors using the formula
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z} \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k})=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2} \\ &\text { Let } \vec{r}=(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k}) \end{aligned}$
Then, the above vector equation of the plane becomes
$(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k}) \cdot(a \hat{\imath}+b \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k})=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}$
Now multiplying the two vectors using the formula
$\begin{aligned} &\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=A_{x} B_{x}+A_{y} B_{y}+A_{z} B_{z} \\ &\Rightarrow(x)(a)+(y)(b)+(z)(c)=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2} \\ &\Rightarrow a x+b y+c z=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2} \end{aligned}$
This is the cartesian form of equation of the required plane.

The Plane exercise 28.3 question 21

Answer:
The answer of given question is $\vec{r} \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+6 \hat{k})=12$
Hint:
Let the equation be $Ax+By+Cz+D=0$
Given:
Plane with intercepts 3,-4 and 2 on x, y and z axes
Solution:
Let the equation be $Ax+By+Cz+D=0$….(i)
Let the plane meets the x,y,z axes (3,0,0), (0,-4,0) and (0,0,2) respectively.
Putting (0,0,2), we get
$\begin{aligned} &A(0)+B(0)+C(2)+D=0 \\ &\Rightarrow C=-\frac{D}{2} \end{aligned}$
Putting (0,-4,0), we get
$\begin{aligned} &A(0)+B(-4)+C(0)+D=0 \\ &\Rightarrow B=\frac{D}{4} \end{aligned}$
And putting (3,0,0) we get
$\begin{aligned} &A(3)+B(0)+C(0)+D=0 \\ &\Rightarrow A=-\frac{D}{3} \end{aligned}$
Substituting the values of A, B, C in equation (i) we get by putting B(0,-4,0), we get
$\begin{aligned} &\left(-\frac{D}{3}\right) x+\frac{D}{4} y+\left(-\frac{D}{2}\right) z+D=0 \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{-4 D x+3 D y-6 D z+12 D}{2}=0 \\ &\Rightarrow(-D)(4 x-3 y+6 z-12)=0 \\ &\Rightarrow 4 x-3 y+6 z=12 \end{aligned}$
This is the cartesian form of equation of the required plane.
Now vector equation form of the plane$4x-3y+6z=12$
$\begin{aligned} &(x \hat{\imath}+y \hat{\jmath}+z \hat{k}) \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+6 \hat{k})=12 \\ &\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot(4 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+6 \hat{k})=12 \end{aligned}$
