line: 7x-3y+5z=-20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to find the point where the given lines intersect the given plane but this is the plane 7x-3y+5z=-20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where is the line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the line is (3+2/3d)i + (4+2/3d)j +(3-1/3d)k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess not :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk, i will try though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what equation is that called? (3+2/3d)i + (4+2/3d)j +(3-1/3d)k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the line R as vector

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll send you a pic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am guessing (3+2/3d)i + (4+2/3d)j +(3-1/3d)k is the same thing as vector r = (3,4,3) + d(2/3,2/3,-1/3)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know :// I'll what u say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vector r = (3,4,3) + d(2/3,2/3,-1/3) can be simplified to vector r = (3,4,3) + d(2,2,-1) The standard form of a line is given by Ax + By +Cz +D = 0 where A, B, C is the normal of the line. What is the normal of (2,2-1) though? Is it the cross product of the point (3,4,3) x (2,2-1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats it? omg thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure i have to check the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am guess you can convert the equation of the line given into standard form if the normal's of the two systems of equations are parallel, then you will have the line and plane to be parallel and distinct or coincidental. else, if the normals are different, then use elimination to solve for the parametric equation of the line of intersection I will do it and see what answer i get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you u are the best !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, nvm what i said convert the equation of the line into parametric form (x,y,z) and then plug in each of the parametric equations into the plane equation and solve for d, once d is solved, plug d into each of the parametric equations to solve for the point of intersection (if they do intersect)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I know you dont know me but I seriously have to do like 7 of this can u gve me the answer so I can take it as example for the others plese please please !!! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, srry but i lost internet connection. :/ well, the answer i got is (x,y,z) = -43/7, -36/7,53/7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thanks !! so much !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

god bless you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please ignore my profile pic my sister... !! hahaha thank you and my name is Tania btw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nice to me meet you Tania, my real name is Xihai :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you new to os?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well hello Xihai :) your name is not commom where are u from !!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guess? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just joined like 30 minutes ago

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow, lol! WELCOME TO OPEN STUDY!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont want to be rude or souund racist but are u chinese?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I am :D You are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh Thanks ! how long have u been here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I live in Boston

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u mean on os? Oh nice, i live up north

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes in os !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i signed up like 1 month ago? lol, i forgot.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ! nice to meet i hope we can talk some day um I gotta go I have lot of hmework ://

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bye Tank u soo so so much !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, bye and ur welcome !
