The Cartesian equation of the plane r =(2 i -3 j )+ ( i +2 j - k )+ (2 i +3 j + k ) is
Options
- A5 x-4 y+z=22
- B5 x-3 y+z=19
- C5 x-3 y-z=19
- D5 x-4 y-z=22
Correct answer
C. 5 x-3 y-z=19
Step-by-step solution
The plane is defined by the vector equation r = (2 i - 3 j ) + ( i + 2 j - k ) + (2 i + 3 j + k ) , indicating it passes through the point (2, -3, 0) and is parallel to vectors (1, 2, -1) and (2, 3, 1) . The normal vector is found using the cross product: n = (1, 2, -1) (2, 3, 1) = 5 i - 3 j - k . Using the point-normal form with (x₀, y₀, z₀) = (2, -3, 0) and normal (5, -3, -1) , the Cartesian equation is 5(x - 2) - 3(y + 3) - z = 0 , which simplifies to 5x - 3y - z = 19 . This matches option C .
