As in Problem 24, find the equations of the line intersections of the planes in Problem 23. Find the distance from the point (1,0,0) to the line.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance from the point (1,0,0) to the line is217 units.

Step by step solution

01

Given

As per Problem 23, the planes are2x+y-2z=3 and 3x-6y-2z=4.

The given point is 1,0,0

02

Find point on both planes

In order to find a point that lies on both the planes, put z=0.

Then equations of the planes become2x+y=3 and 3x-6y=4.

Solving the two equations using elimination method, it implies

x=2215and y=115

Thus, the common point is 2215,115,0

03

Find equations of line of intersections of planes

For the given planes, normal vectors are:2i^+j^-2k^

and3i^-6j^-2k^ respectively.

The cross product of the two normal vectors:

N=ijk21-23-6-2=-2-12i^--4+6j^+-12-3k^=-14i^-2j^-15k^

Now, the equation of line of intersection of the planes through2215,115,0 and parallel to-14i^-2j^-15k^ is

x-2215-14=y-115-2=z-0-15

So the equations are

x-2215-14=y-115-2=z-15

And parameteric form of equations is

r=2215i^+115j^+-14i^-2j^-15k^t

04

Find the point and the line

The point isP=1,0,0

The line isr=2215i^+115j^+-14i^-2j^-15k^t

Here,

Q=2215i^+115j^=2215,115,0

And A=-14i^-2j^-15k^

So

A=-142+-22+-152=425

Unit vector along the line is u=-14i^-2j^-15k^425

Also,

PQ→=2215,115,0-1,0,0=715,115,0=715i^115j^

05

Find the distance

The distance of the pointP=1,0,0 to the line is

PQ→×u=715i^+115j^×-14i^-2j^-15k^425=1425715i^+115j^×-14i^-2j^-15k^=1425-i^+7j^=1425-12+72

So,

PQ→×u=50425=217

Hence, the distance from the point (1,0,0) to the line is217 units.

A particle is traveling along the line (x-3)/2=(y+1)/(-2)=z-1. Write the equation of its path in the form r=r0+At. Find the distance of closest approach of the particle to the origin (that is, the distance from the origin to the line). If t represents time, show that the time of closest approach is t=-(r0×A)/|A|2. Use this value to check your answer for the distance of closest approach. Hint: See Figure 5.3. If P is the point of closest approach, what is A×r2?

Use vectors to prove the following theorems from geometry:

The line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of any triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length.

Find three vectors (none of them parallel to a coordinate axis) which have lengths and directions such that they could be made into a right triangle.

The Caley-Hamilton theorem states that "A matrix satisfies its own characteristic equation." Verify this theorem for the matrix Min equation (11.1). Hint: Substitute the matrixMforrole="math" localid="1658822242352" λin the characteristic equation (11.4) and verify that you have a correct matrix equation. Further hint: Don't do all the arithmetic. Use (11.36) to write the left side of your equation asC(D2-7D+6)C-1and show that the parenthesis=0. Remember that, by definition, the eigenvalues satisfy the characteristic equation.

Question: In Problems 2 to 4, find out whether the given vectors are dependent or independent; if they are dependent, find a linearly independent subset. Write each of the given vectors as a linear combination of the independent vectors.
