Mark against the correct answer in each of the following:
The direction cosines of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane are
Given: Equation of plane is
Formula Used: Equation of a plane is where
is the unit vector normal to the plane,
represents a point on the plane and
is the distance of the plane from the origin.
Explanation:
The equation of the given plane is … (1)
Now,
= 7
is a unit vector.
(1) can be rewritten as
which is of the form
Perpendicular vector from the origin to the plane is
So, direction cosines of the vector perpendicular from the origin to the plane is
