What are the direction cosines of z-axis ?
D.
The direction cosines are given by l, m, n
The angles made by vectors with x, y and z axes are respectively.
All the coordinate axes perpendicular to each other
We need to find the direction cosine of the z-axis
As the vector is along z-axis the angle made by x-axis is 900
Hence, the angles are
Taking the cosine of all angles we get,
Finding the values we get,
l = 0, m = 0, n = 1
The direction cosines are (l, m, n) = (0, 0, 1)
What is the equation of the plane passing through the points (- 2, 6, - 6), (- 3, 10, - 9) and (- 5, 0, - 6) ?
2x - y - 2z = 2
2x + y + 3z = 3
x + y + z = 6
x - y - z = 3
What is the distance of the point (2, 3, 4) from the plane 3x - 6y + 2z + 11 = 0 ?
1 unit
2 units
3 units
4 units
x + y + z = 6, x + 2y - 3z = - 4
3x + 2y - 3z = 0, 3x - 6y + 3z = - 2
3x + 2y - 3z = - 2, 3x - 6y + 3z = - 2
3x + 2y - 3z = -2, 3x - 6y + 3z = 0
