On a multiple choice examination with three possible answers (out of which only one is correct) for each of the five questions, what is the probability that a candidate would get four or more correct answers just by guessing?
Find the Cartesian equation of the plane passing through the points A(0, 0, 0) and B(3, -1, 2) and parallel to the line
Let the equation of the plane be ax + by + cz + d = 0 ........(i)
Since the plane passes through the point A ( 0, 0, 0 ) and B ( 3, -1, 2),
we have
a x 0 + b x 0 + c x 0 + d = 0
d = 0 ................(ii)
Similarly for point B ( 3, -1, 2 ), a x 3 + b x ( - 1 ) + c x 2 + d = 0
3a - b + 2c = 0 ( Using , d = 0 ) ............(iii)
The required plane is parellel to the above line .
Therefore, a x 1 + b x ( - 4 ) + c x 7 = 0
a - 4b + 7c = 0 ............(iv)
Cross multiplying equations (iii) and (iv), we obtain:
Substituting the values of a, b and c in equation ( 1 ), we obtain the equation of plane as:
kx - 19ky - 11kz + d = 0
k ( x - 19y - 11z ) = 0 ..........( From equation (ii) )
x - 19y - 11z = 0
So, the equation of the required plane is x - 19y - 11z .
