Question

Use normal vectors to determine the intersection, if any, for each of the following groups of three planes. Give a geometric interpretation in each case and the number of solutions for the corresponding linear system of equations. If the planes intersect in a line, determine a vector equation of the line. If the planes intersect in a point, determine the coordinates of the point.

      2x + 4y + 6z = 7
      x + 3y + 2z = 3

b.   x + 2y + 3z = 4
      2x + 4y + 6z = 7
     3x + 6y + 9z = 5

c.   x + 2y + z = 2
     2x + 4y + 2z = 4
     3x + 6y + 3z = 6

          d. x 2y 2z = 6

Explanation / Answer

Solve the system of equations:

x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 = -42x1 + 4x2 + 6x3 = 73x1 + 6x2 + 9x3 = -3

Simplify the system:

x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 = -42x1 + 4x2 + 6x3 = 7x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 = -1

From 1-th equation we find x1 by other variables

x1 = -2x2 - 3x3 - 42x1 + 4x2 + 6x3 = 7x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 = -1

In 2, 3-th equation substitute x1

x1 = -2x2 - 3x3 - 42(-2x2 - 3x3 - 4) + 4x2 + 6x3 = 7(-2x2 - 3x3 - 4) + 2x2 + 3x3 = -1

After simplification we get:

x1 = -2x2 - 3x3 - 40 = 150 = 3

Answer:

The system of equations has no solution because: 0 3.

B)Solve the system of equations:

x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 = -42x1 + 4x2 + 6x3 = 73x1 + 6x2 + 9x3 = 5

From 1-th equation we find x1 by other variables

x1 = -2x2 - 3x3 - 42x1 + 4x2 + 6x3 = 73x1 + 6x2 + 9x3 = 5

In 2, 3-th equation substitute x1

x1 = -2x2 - 3x3 - 42(-2x2 - 3x3 - 4) + 4x2 + 6x3 = 73(-2x2 - 3x3 - 4) + 6x2 + 9x3 = 5

After simplification we get:

x1 = -2x2 - 3x3 - 40 = 150 = 17

Answer:

The system of equations has no solution because: 0 17

C)Solve the system of equations:

x1 + 2x2 + x3 = -22x1 + 4x2 + 2x3 = 43x1 + 6x2 + 3x3 = -6

Simplify the system:

x1 + 2x2 + x3 = -2x1 + 2x2 + x3 = 2x1 + 2x2 + x3 = -2

From 1-th equation we find x1 by other variables

x1 = -2x2 - x3 - 2x1 + 2x2 + x3 = 2x1 + 2x2 + x3 = -2

In 2, 3-th equation substitute x1

x1 = -2x2 - x3 - 2(-2x2 - x3 - 2) + 2x2 + x3 = 2(-2x2 - x3 - 2) + 2x2 + x3 = -2

After simplification we get:

x1 = -2x2 - x3 - 20 = 40 = 0

Answer:

The system of equations has no solution because: 0 4.

D)

Solve the system of equations:

x1 - 2x2 - 2x3 = 62x1 - 5x2 + 3x3 = -103x1 - 4x2 + x3 = -1

From 1-th equation we find x1 by other variables

x1 = 2x2 + 2x3 + 62x1 - 5x2 + 3x3 = -103x1 - 4x2 + x3 = -1

In 2, 3-th equation substitute x1

x1 = 2x2 + 2x3 + 62(2x2 + 2x3 + 6) - 5x2 + 3x3 = -103(2x2 + 2x3 + 6) - 4x2 + x3 = -1

After simplification we get:

x1 = 2x2 + 2x3 + 6-x2 + 7x3 = -222x2 + 7x3 = -19

Divide the 2-th equation by -1

x1 = 2x2 + 2x3 + 6x2 - 7x3 = 222x2 + 7x3 = -19

From 2-th equation we find x2 by other variables

x1 = 2x2 + 2x3 + 6x2 = 7x3 + 222x2 + 7x3 = -19

In 3-th equation substitute x2

x1 = 2x2 + 2x3 + 6x2 = 7x3 + 222(7x3 + 22) + 7x3 = -19

After simplification we get:

x1 = 2x2 + 2x3 + 6x2 = 7x3 + 2221x3 = -63

Divide the 3-th equation by 21

x1 = 2x2 + 2x3 + 6x2 = 7x3 + 22x3 = -3

Now moving from the last equation to first equation we can find the values of other variables

Answer:

x1 = 2x2 = 1x3 = -3.

E )

Solve the system of equations:

x1 - x2 + 3x3 = 4x1 + x2 + 2x3 = 23x1 + x2 + 7x3 = 9

From 1-th equation we find x1 by other variables

x1 = x2 - 3x3 + 4x1 + x2 + 2x3 = 23x1 + x2 + 7x3 = 9

In 2, 3-th equation substitute x1

x1 = x2 - 3x3 + 4(x2 - 3x3 + 4) + x2 + 2x3 = 23(x2 - 3x3 + 4) + x2 + 7x3 = 9

After simplification we get:

x1 = x2 - 3x3 + 42x2 - x3 = -24x2 - 2x3 = -3

Divide the 2-th equation by 2

x1 = x2 - 3x3 + 4x2 - 0.5x3 = -14x2 - 2x3 = -3

From 2-th equation we find x2 by other variables

x1 = x2 - 3x3 + 4x2 = 0.5x3 - 14x2 - 2x3 = -3

In 3-th equation substitute x2

x1 = x2 - 3x3 + 4x2 = 0.5x3 - 14(0.5x3 - 1) - 2x3 = -3

After simplification we get:

x1 = x2 - 3x3 + 4x2 = 0.5x3 - 10 = 1

Answer:

The system of equations has no solution because: 0 1
