Find the vector equation of the plane passing through the point (a, b,

1.	Find the vector equation of the plane passing through the point (a, b, b) and parallel to the plane \(\bar{r}\).(\(\hat{i}\) + \(\hat{j}\) + \(\hat{k}\)) = 2.There is a error in question …… the point should be (a,b,c) instead of (a,b,b) to get the required answer.
Answer» Formula : Plane = r . (n) = d Where r = any random point n = normal vector of plane d = distance of plane from origin If two planes are parallel , then their normal vectors are same. Therefore , Parallel Plane r . (i + j + k) = 2 Normal vector = (i + j + k) ∴ Normal vector of required plane = (i + j + k) Equation of required plane r . (i + j + k) = d In cartesian form x + y + z = d Plane passes through point (a,b,c) therefore it will satisfy it. (a) + (b) + (c) = d d = a + b + c Equation of required plane r . (i + j + k) = a + b + c

Answer»

Formula : Plane = r . (n) = d

Where r = any random point

n = normal vector of plane

d = distance of plane from origin

If two planes are parallel , then their normal vectors are same.

Therefore ,

Parallel Plane r . (i + j + k) = 2

Normal vector = (i + j + k)

∴ Normal vector of required plane = (i + j + k)

Equation of required plane r . (i + j + k) = d

In cartesian form x + y + z = d

Plane passes through point (a,b,c) therefore it will satisfy it.

(a) + (b) + (c) = d

d = a + b + c

Equation of required plane r . (i + j + k) = a + b + c
