Answer» Given: Plane passes through the intersection of planes 3x – y + 2z – 4 = 0 and x + y + z – 2 = 0. Point A(2, 2, 1) lies on the plane. To find: Equation of the plane. Formula Used: Equation of plane passing through the intersection of 2 planes P1 and P2 is given by P1 + λP2 = 0 Explanation: Equation of plane is 3x – y + 2z – 4 + λ (x + y + z - 2) = 0 … (1) Since A(2, 2, 1) lies on the plane, 6 – 2 + 2 – 4 + λ (2 + 2 + 1 – 2) = 0 2 + 3λ = 0 λ = \(\frac{-2}3\) Substituting in (1) and multiplying by 3, 9x – 3y + 6z – 12 – 2 (x + y + z - 2) = 0 9x – 3y + 6z – 12 – 2x – 2y – 2z + 4 = 0 7x – 5y + 4z – 8 = 0 Therefore the equation of the plane is 7x – 5y + 4z – 8 = 0 |
