Question

Verify if the point having position vector `4hat"i" - 11hat"j" + 2hat"k"` lies on the line `bar"r" = (6hat"i" - 4hat"j" + 5hat"k") + lambda (2hat"i" + 7hat"j" + 3hat"k")`

Sum

Solution

`bar"r" = (6hat"i" - 4hat"j" + 5hat"k") + lambda (2hat"i" + 7hat"j" + 3hat"k")`

Replacing `bar"r"` by `4hat"i" - 11hat"j" + 2hat"k"`, we get

`4hat"i" - 11hat"j" + 2hat"k" = 6hat"i" - 4hat"j" + 5hat"k" + lambda(2hat"i" + 7hat"j" + 3hat"k")`

∴ 6 + 2lambda = 4, – 4 + 7λ

= – 11, 5 + 3λ

= 2

From each of these equations, we get the same value of λ.

∴ The given point lies on the given line.
