Planes Intersection 786462
1. **Problem Statement:**
Find the equations of planes $P_1$ and $P_2$, the angle between them, the vector equation of their line of intersection, and the distance of this line from the origin.
2. **Equation of Plane $P_1$:**
Given points: $A(1,1,1)$, $B(1,4,2)$, $C(0,2,0)$.
- Find vectors $\vec{AB} = B - A = (0,3,1)$ and $\vec{AC} = C - A = (-1,1,-1)$.
- The normal vector $\vec{n_1}$ to $P_1$ is $\vec{AB} \times \vec{AC}$:
$$\vec{n_1} = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 0 & 3 & 1 \\ -1 & 1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = (3 \times -1 - 1 \times 1)\mathbf{i} - (0 \times -1 - 1 \times -1)\mathbf{j} + (0 \times 1 - 3 \times -1)\mathbf{k} = (-3 -1)\mathbf{i} - (0 +1)\mathbf{j} + (0 +3)\mathbf{k} = (-4, -1, 3)$$
- Equation of $P_1$ using point $A$:
$$-4(x-1) -1(y-1) + 3(z-1) = 0$$
Simplify:
$$-4x +4 - y +1 + 3z -3 = 0 \Rightarrow -4x - y + 3z + 2 = 0$$
3. **Equation of Plane $P_2$:**
- $P_2$ is perpendicular to vector $\vec{n_2} = (2,1,1)$ and passes through $(0,0,3)$.
- Equation:
$$2(x-0) + 1(y-0) + 1(z-3) = 0 \Rightarrow 2x + y + z - 3 = 0$$
4. **Angle Between $P_1$ and $P_2$:**
- Angle $\theta$ between planes is angle between their normals:
$$\cos \theta = \frac{|\vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2}|}{||\vec{n_1}|| \cdot ||\vec{n_2}||}$$
- Compute dot product:
$$\vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2} = (-4)(2) + (-1)(1) + 3(1) = -8 -1 + 3 = -6$$
- Norms:
$$||\vec{n_1}|| = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-1)^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 1 + 9} = \sqrt{26}$$
$$||\vec{n_2}|| = \sqrt{2^2 + 1^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{4 + 1 + 1} = \sqrt{6}$$
- Calculate angle:
$$\cos \theta = \frac{6}{\sqrt{26} \times \sqrt{6}} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{156}} = \frac{6}{12.49} \approx 0.48$$
$$\theta = \cos^{-1}(0.48) \approx 61.93^\circ$$
5. **Vector Equation of Line of Intersection:**
- Direction vector $\vec{d}$ is cross product of normals:
$$\vec{d} = \vec{n_1} \times \vec{n_2} = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ -4 & -1 & 3 \\ 2 & 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = (-1)(1) - 3(1)\mathbf{i} - (-4)(1) - 3(2)\mathbf{j} + (-4)(1) - (-1)(2)\mathbf{k} = (-1 -3)\mathbf{i} - (-4 -6)\mathbf{j} + (-4 + 2)\mathbf{k} = (-4, 10, -2)$$
- Simplify direction vector by dividing by 2:
$$\vec{d} = (-2, 5, -1)$$
- Find a point on the line by solving the system:
$$\begin{cases} -4x - y + 3z + 2 = 0 \\ 2x + y + z - 3 = 0 \end{cases}$$
- Add equations:
$$(-4x - y + 3z + 2) + (2x + y + z - 3) = -2x + 4z -1 = 0 \Rightarrow 2x = 4z -1 \Rightarrow x = 2z - \frac{1}{2}$$
- Substitute $x$ into second equation:
$$2(2z - \frac{1}{2}) + y + z - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow 4z -1 + y + z - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow y + 5z -4 = 0 \Rightarrow y = 4 - 5z$$
- Let $z = 0$ for simplicity:
$$x = 2(0) - \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{1}{2}, \quad y = 4 - 0 = 4, \quad z = 0$$
- Point on line: $(-\frac{1}{2}, 4, 0)$
- Vector equation:
$$\vec{r} = \left(-\frac{1}{2}, 4, 0\right) + t(-2, 5, -1)$$
6. **Distance of Line from Origin:**
- Distance $d$ from origin to line with point $\vec{p}$ and direction $\vec{d}$:
$$d = \frac{||\vec{p} \times \vec{d}||}{||\vec{d}||}$$
- Compute cross product:
$$\vec{p} = \left(-\frac{1}{2}, 4, 0\right), \quad \vec{d} = (-2, 5, -1)$$
$$\vec{p} \times \vec{d} = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ -\frac{1}{2} & 4 & 0 \\ -2 & 5 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = (4 \times -1 - 0 \times 5)\mathbf{i} - \left(-\frac{1}{2} \times -1 - 0 \times -2\right)\mathbf{j} + \left(-\frac{1}{2} \times 5 - 4 \times -2\right)\mathbf{k} = (-4)\mathbf{i} - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\mathbf{j} + \left(-\frac{5}{2} + 8\right)\mathbf{k} = (-4, -0.5, 5.5)$$
- Norms:
$$||\vec{p} \times \vec{d}|| = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-0.5)^2 + 5.5^2} = \sqrt{16 + 0.25 + 30.25} = \sqrt{46.5} \approx 6.82$$
$$||\vec{d}|| = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + 5^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 25 + 1} = \sqrt{30} \approx 5.48$$
- Distance:
$$d = \frac{6.82}{5.48} \approx 1.24$$
**Final answers:**
- $P_1$: $-4x - y + 3z + 2 = 0$
- $P_2$: $2x + y + z - 3 = 0$
- Angle between planes: $\approx 61.93^\circ$
- Line of intersection: $\vec{r} = \left(-\frac{1}{2}, 4, 0\right) + t(-2, 5, -1)$
- Distance from origin to line: $\approx 1.24$
