Let Pbe the plane ax + by + c z = d, N = (a, b ,c) be the normal vector to P, R be a point on P, and P be the point (x0,y0,z0).Show that the distance formula we derived for computing the distance from point P to plane P in Chapter 10, N.RP→N, is equivalent to the distance formula we derived in Example 4. That is, show thatN.RP→N=ax0+by0+cz0-da2+b2+c2.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given 

Plane ax + by + c z = d, N = (a, b ,c)

02

Step 2. Calculation 

Considertheplaneax+by+cz=dandN=(a,b,c)bethenormalvectortotheplaneandpbethepoint(x0,y0,z0).LetR=(x,y,z)beapointontheplane,ThevectorRP→isgivenbyRP→=(x0-x)i+(y0-y)j+(z0-z)kThus,N.RP→=(ai+bj+cj){(x0-x)i+(y0-y)j+(z0-z)k}=a(x0-x)+b(y0-y)+c(z0-z)=ax0-ax+by0-by+cz0-cz=ax0+bx0+cx0-ax-by-cz=ax0+bx0+cx0-(ax+by+cz)=ax0+bx0+cx0-dwhered=ax+by+cz|N.RP→|=|ax0+bx0+cx0−d|And,N=a,b,c=ai+bj+ck=a2+b2+c2Therefore,N.RP→N=ax0+by0+cz0-da2+b2+c2.

Step 4.  Calculation 

Differentiate(1) partiallywithrespecttoy,∂∂yD(x,y)=∂∂y{(x-x0)2+(y-y0)2+(d-ax-byc-z0)2}Dy(x,y)=∂∂y(x-x0)2+∂∂y(y-y0)2+∂∂y(d-ax-byc-z0)2.=2(y-y0)+2(d-ax-byc-z0)∂∂y(d-ax-byc-z0).=2(y-y0)+2(d-ax-byc-z0){∂∂y(d-ax-byc)-∂∂yz0}=2(y-y0)+2(d-ax-byc-z0)(-bc-0)=2(x-x0)-2bc(d-ax-byc-z0).....(3)

Step 5. Calculating stationary point 

Thestationarypointisgivenby,Dx(x,y)=0andDy(x,y)=0Thus,Dx(x,y)=02(x-x0)-2ac(d-ax-byc-z0)=02x-2x0-2adc2+2a2xc2+2abyc2+2az0c=02+2a2c2x+2abyc2=2x0+2adc2-2az0c......(4)And,Dy(x,y)=02(y-y0)-2bc(d-ax-byc-z0)=02y-2y0-2bdc2+2abxc2+2b2yc2+2bz0c=02abxc2+2+2b2c2y=2y0+2bdc2-2bz0c.....(5)
