Explanation Given information: The equations r 1 ( t ) = 〈 5 t , 2 t − 1 , 2 t − 2 〉 and r 2 ( t ) = 〈 t − 5 , − t + 4 , t − 7 〉 . Concept used: The parametric equations of the line passing though the point P = ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) and parallel to the vector v = 〈 a , b , c 〉 are, x = x 0 + a t y = y 0 + b t z = z 0 + c t } ,.... ( 1 ) Two lines intersect at a point where their respective coordinates are equal to each other.. The general equation of a plane is, A ( x − x 0 ) + B ( y − y 0 ) + C ( z − z 0 ) = 0 ,.... ( 2 ) where A , B and C are the components of the normal vector on the plane and ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) is the point lying on the plane. Consider the line r 1 ( t ) = 〈 5 t , 2 t − 1 , 2 t − 2 〉 . Then, x = 5 t 1 y = 2 t 1 − 1 z = 2 t 1 − 2 } ,.... ( 3 ) Here v 1 = 〈 5 , 2 , 2 〉 . Use similar argument for r 2 ( t ) = 〈 t − 5 , − t + 4 , t − 7 〉 . x = t 2 − 5 y = − t 2 + 4 z = t 2 − 7 } ,....

( 7 ) Consider equation ( 5 ) . t 1 = t 2 − 5 5 Substitute t 2 − 5 5 for t 1 in equation ( 6 ) . 2 ( t 2 − 5 5 ) − 1 = − t 2 + 4 2 ( t 2 − 5 ) − 5 = − 5 t 2 + 20 7 t 2 = 35 t 2 = 5 Substitute t 2 − 5 5 for t 1 in equation ( 7 ) . 2 ( t 2 − 5 5 ) − 2 = t 2 − 7 2 ( t 2 − 5 ) − 10 = 5 t 2 − 35 3 t 2 = 15 t 2 = 5 Since the value of t 2 is same in both the above cases, the lines intersect To determine (b) Whether or not the given lines have a single point of intersection and if they do, determine an equation of a plane containing them.

Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.
