Find the vector equation of each one of the following planes:
i. 2x – y + 2z = 8
ii. x + y – z = 5
iii. x + y = 3
i. The given equation of the plane is 2x – y + 2z = 8
This is in Cartesian form, to convert this to vector form, this can be done as shown below:
We know
Hence the above equation becomes,
The vector equation of the plane whose Cartesian form 2x – y + 2z = 8 is given is
ii. x + y – z = 5
This is in Cartesian form, to convert this to vector form, this can be done as shown below:
We know
Hence the above equation becomes,
The vector equation of the plane whose Cartesian form x + y – z = 5 is given is
iii. x + y = 3
This is in Cartesian form, to convert this to vector form, this can be done as shown below:
We know
Hence the above equation becomes,
