Which of the following is not the correct formula for representing a plane?(a) \(\vec{r}.\hat{n}=d\)(b) ax+by+cz=d(c) lx+my+nz=d(d) al+mb+cn=d^2The question was asked in examination.Asked question is from Three Dimensional Geometry topic in chapter Three Dimensional Geometry of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT OPTION is (d) al+mb+cn=d^2

For EXPLANATION I would say: \(\vec{r}.\hat{n}=d\), ax+by+cz=d, lx+my+nz=d are the various ways of REPRESENTING a PLANE.

\(\vec{r}.\hat{n}\)=d is the vector equation of the plane, where \(\hat{n}\) is the unit vector normal to the plane.

ax+by+cz=d, lx+my+nz=d are the Cartesian equation of the plane in the normal form where, a, b, c are the direction ratios and l, m, n are the direction cosines of the normal to the plane respectively.
