Math Problem Statement

Bestimmen Sie eine Parameterform zu der Schnittgeraden g der beiden Ebenen E1 und E2.

Solution

The task is to find a parametric equation for the line of intersection gg of the two planes E1E_1 and E2E_2.

The two planes are given in parametric form:

  • E1={(474)+α(021)+β(124) | α,βR}E_1 = \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ 7 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} + \alpha \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} + \beta \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 2 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} \ \middle| \ \alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{R} \right\}
  • E2={(241)+α(110)+β(013) | α,βR}E_2 = \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 4 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix} + \alpha \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ -1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} + \beta \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ -1 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix} \ \middle| \ \alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{R} \right\}

Steps to solve:

  1. Parametrize the planes: Write each plane in terms of general points using their parameters α\alpha and β\beta.

    • A general point on E1E_1: = \begin{pmatrix} -4 - \beta \\ 7 + 2\alpha + 2\beta \\ 4 + \alpha + 4\beta \end{pmatrix}.$$
    • A general point on E2E_2: = \begin{pmatrix} -2 - \alpha \\ 4 - \alpha - \beta \\ -1 - 3\beta \end{pmatrix}.$$
  2. Find the intersection: At the intersection, points on E1E_1 and E2E_2 are the same: r1=r2.\mathbf{r}_1 = \mathbf{r}_2. This gives three equations: 4β=2α,7+2α+2β=4αβ,4+α+4β=13β.-4 - \beta = -2 - \alpha, \quad 7 + 2\alpha + 2\beta = 4 - \alpha - \beta, \quad 4 + \alpha + 4\beta = -1 - 3\beta.

    Simplify these equations:

    • From the first equation: \alpha - \beta = 2. \tag{1}
    • From the second equation: 3\alpha + 3\beta = -3 \implies \alpha + \beta = -1. \tag{2}
    • From the third equation: \alpha + 7\beta = -5. \tag{3}
  3. Solve the system of equations: Use equations (1), (2), and (3) to find α\alpha and β\beta in terms of one parameter:

    • From (1) and (2), add: (αβ)+(α+β)=21    2α=1    α=0.5.(\alpha - \beta) + (\alpha + \beta) = 2 - 1 \implies 2\alpha = 1 \implies \alpha = 0.5. Substitute α=0.5\alpha = 0.5 into (1): 0.5β=2    β=1.5.0.5 - \beta = 2 \implies \beta = -1.5.
  4. Write the parametric form: Plug α\alpha and β\beta into r1\mathbf{r}_1 or r2\mathbf{r}_2 to find the parametric line.
