Math Problem Statement

A line passes through the points A(1, -2, 4) and B(2, 3, 2). At what point does this line intersect with the xy-plane? The equation of the plane through point (2, 2, -2) with normal vector n = (5, -3, 3) is 5x - 3y + 3z + d = 0. Find the value of d. The equation of the plane that passes through points (1, 1, 1), (2, 0, 3), and (-1, 4, 2) is ax + by + cz + d = 0. Find the values of a, b, c, and d. Find the distance between the point (-5, -3, 5) and the plane 3x - 4z + 17 = 0. Round your answer to one decimal place if needed.

Solution

The image you've uploaded appears to contain questions related to lines, planes, and distances in 3D geometry. Let's go through the questions one by one:

  1. Intersection of a line with the xyxy-plane: The line passes through the points A(1,2,4)A(1, -2, 4) and B(2,3,2)B(2, 3, 2). To find the point where this line intersects the xyxy-plane, set the zz-coordinate equal to 0 (since the xyxy-plane has z=0z = 0).

    The parametric equations for the line can be written as: x=1+t(21),y=2+t(3(2)),z=4+t(24)x = 1 + t(2 - 1), \quad y = -2 + t(3 - (-2)), \quad z = 4 + t(2 - 4) Substitute z=0z = 0 and solve for tt to find the coordinates where the line intersects the plane.

  2. Equation of the plane with normal vector: The equation of a plane is given by: n(xx0,yy0,zz0)=0n \cdot (x - x_0, y - y_0, z - z_0) = 0 where n=(5,3,3)n = (5, -3, 3) is the normal vector, and the point P(2,2,2)P(2, 2, -2) lies on the plane. Plugging in the values, we can find the equation of the plane.

  3. Plane passing through three points: The points are (1,1,1),(2,0,3),(1,4,2)(1, 1, 1), (2, 0, 3), (-1, 4, 2). To find the equation of the plane, you need to:

    • Find two vectors on the plane by subtracting coordinates of two points.
    • Compute the cross product of these two vectors to find the normal vector.
    • Use the normal vector and one of the points to write the equation of the plane.
  4. Distance from a point to a plane: The point is (5,3,5)(-5, -3, 5) and the plane equation is 3x4z+17=03x - 4z + 17 = 0. To find the distance, use the formula: Distance=Ax1+By1+Cz1+DA2+B2+C2\text{Distance} = \frac{|Ax_1 + By_1 + Cz_1 + D|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} where (A,B,C)(A, B, C) is the normal vector of the plane, and (x1,y1,z1)(x_1, y_1, z_1) is the point.
