number 10 and 12 plz
Explanation / Answer
10. The two planes are 2x+3y-7z = -7 and -3x+y+5 z = -6
These two planes have normal vectors a = (2, 3, -7) and b = (-3, 1, 5), respectively. Let L denote the line of intersection. Then the vector v = a × b = (22,11,11) is parallel to L. Now, we need to find a point P on L. To find P, we will solve the system of equations of the planes 2x+3y-7z = -7 and -3x + y +5 z = -6
Let us consider P to be the point of L where z = 0. Thus, on substituting z = 0 in the above system we get 2x +3y =-7 and -3x + y = -6. On solving these equations, we get x = 1 and y = -3. Thus P: (1,-3,0) is a point on L. Then the parametric equations of the line L are x = 1+22t, y = -3+11t, z = 11t.
12. The direction vector of the given line is v = (2,-1,5). Also, the co-ordinates f a point q on the given line are (3,-7,-2). Then the vector u connecting q and p is ( 3-3,-7+8, -2-1)= ( 0,1,-3). Further uxv = (-2,6,2). Then the distance from the point p to the given line is |uxv|/|v| = ([(-2)2+62 +22]/ [22 +(-1)2 +52] = 44/30 = (44/30) = (22/15).
