Q2 of 230 Page 29

Find the vector equation of a plane which is at a distance of 5 units from the origin and which is normal to the vector.

It is given that the normal vector

Now,


The equation of a plane in normal form is = d (where d is the distance of the plane from the origin)


Substituting and d = 5.


We get,


= 5

Find the vector equation of a plane which is at a distance of 3 units from the origin and has as the unit vector normal to it.

 3

Reduce the equation 2x – 3y – 6z = 14 to the normal form and hence find the length of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane. Also, find the direction cosines of the normal to the plane.
