Show that the plane whose vector equation is $\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}})=3$ contains the line whose vector equation is $\vec{\text{r}}=\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\lambda(2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}}).$

Answer

The line $\vec{\text{r}}=(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}})+\lambda(2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}})\ ...(\text{i})$
Passes through a point whose posotion vector is $\vec{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}}$ and is parallel to the vector $\vec{\text{b}}=2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}}$
If the plane $\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}})=3$ contains the given line, then
It should passes through the point $\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}}.$
It should be parallel to the line.
Now, the plane passes through the point $\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}}.$
So, the plane vector to the given plane is $\vec{\text{n}}=\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}}.$
We observe that
$\vec{\text{b}}\cdot\vec{\text{n}}=(2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}})\cdot(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}})$
$=2+2-4=0$
Therefore, the plane is parallel to the line.
Hence, the given plane contains the given line.
