Question
Find the vector equation of the following planes in non-parametric form.
$\vec{\text{r}}=(\lambda-2\mu)\hat{\text{i}}+(3-\mu)\hat{\text{j}}+(2\lambda+\mu)\hat{\text{k}}$
✓

Answer

The given equation of the plane is,
$\vec{\text{r}}=(\lambda-2\mu)\hat{\text{i}}+(3-\mu)\hat{\text{j}}+(2\lambda+\mu)\hat{\text{k}}$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{r}}=(0\hat{\text{i}}+3\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}})+\lambda(\hat{\text{i}}+0\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}})+\mu(-2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}})$
We know that equation $\vec{\text{r}}=\vec{\text{a}}+\lambda\vec{\text{b}}+\mu\vec{\text{c}} $ represents a plane passing through a point whose position vector is $\vec{\text{a}}$ and parallel to t.
Here, $\vec{\text{a}}=0\hat{\text{i}}+3\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}},\vec{\text{b}}=\hat{\text{i}}+0\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}},\hat{\text{c}}=-2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$
Normal vector, $\vec{\text{n}}=\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{c}}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\hat{\text{i}}&\hat{\text{j}}&\hat{\text{k}}\\1&0&2\\-2&-1&1\end{vmatrix}$
$=2\hat{\text{i}}-5\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}}$
The vector equation of the plane in scalar product form is,
$\vec{\text{r}}\cdot\vec{\text{n}}=\vec{\text{a}}\cdot\vec{\text{n}}$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(2\hat{\text{i}}-5\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}})=(0\hat{\text{i}}+3\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}})(2\hat{\text{i}}-5\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}})$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(2\hat{\text{i}}-5\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}})=0-15+0$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(2\hat{\text{i}}-5\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}})+15=0$
