Intersect Two Perpendicular Planes?

AI Thread Summary
The line of intersection of two perpendicular planes is given by the equation r=(-1+5t)i +(5-t)j +(7-4t)k, with one plane defined as 5x-3y+7z=29. To find the rectangular equation of the second plane, the normal vector is derived from the cross product of the direction vector of the line and the normal vector of the first plane. The resulting normal vector is (-19, -55, -10), leading to the final equation of the second plane being 19x+55y+10z=326. This confirms the calculations and provides the required rectangular equation for the second plane.

The line of intersection of two perpendicular planes is r=(-1+5t)i +(5-t)j +(7-4t)k. One plane is 5x-3y+7z=29. Find the rectangular equation of the other plane.




The Attempt at a Solution


I think I need to find three points in the desired plane. (one point being (-1,5,7)?)

Do know of any two lines that is parallel to the plane? :smile:

Then can u find the rectangular equation by:

r.n=D ? ( But first have to find the normal vector by ? )
 
okay, so does this seem right?

Direction vectors:
The first is the direction vector of the line = (5, -1, -4) ,
the second is the normal vector of the first plane = (5, -3, 7)
And (- 1, 5, 7) is a point of the second plane (and of the first plane)

So the equation of the second perpendicular plane is in parametric form

plane: (-1, 5, 7) + r(5, -1, -4) + s(5, - 3, 7)

To find the normal form of the plane, calculate the cross product of the two direction vectors,
and plug in the point that you have already.

the cross product of (5, -1, -4)x(5, -3, 7) = ( - 19, - 55, -10)
and (- 19, -55, -10)•(-1, 5, 7) = - 326
so the normal equation and FINAL ANSWER of the perpendicular plane is

19x+55y+10z=326
 
Yes.. I've gotten the same ans too..
