Question
A plane passing through (−1, 2, 3) and whose normal makes equal angle with the coordinate axes is:
  1. x + y + z + 4 = 0
  2. x − y + z + 4 = 0
  3. x + y + z − 4 = 0
  4. x + y + z = 0

Answer

  1. x + y + z − 4 = 0
Solution:
Since normal makes equal angles with coordinate axis.
So, it intercept with all the axis will be same. So equation of plane will be 
$\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}+\frac{\text{y}}{\text{a}}+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}=1$
⇒ x + y + z = a
Now, it passes through (−1, 2, 3), so
−1 + 2 + 3 = a
⇒ a = 4
⇒ x + y + z − 4 = 0

Apply linear programming to this problem. A firm wants to determine how many units of each of two products (products D and E) they should produce to make the most money. The profit in the manufacture of a unit of product D is 100 and the profit in the manufacture of a unit of product E is100 and the profit in the manufacture of aunit of product E is 87. The firm is limited by its total available labor hours and total available machine hours. The total labor hours per week are 4,000. Product D takes 5 hours per unit of labor and product E takes 7 hours per unit. The total machine hours are 5,000 per week. Product D takes 9 hours per unit of machine time and product E takes 3 hours per unit. Which of the following is one of the constraints for this linear program?
  1. $5\text{D}+7\text{E}\leq5,000$
  2. $9\text{D}+3\text{E}\geq4,000$
  3. $5\text{D}+7\text{E}=4,000$
  4. $5\text{D}+9\text{E}\leq5,000$
