(6) show that u = (1/3)(2,-2,1) and v = (1/3)(1,2,2) are
orthogonal unit vectors parallel to the plane 2x + y - 2z = -
2, and that P(1,2,3) and Q(-2,4,1) are points in the plane.
hence find parameters s and t such that:
q = (-2,4,1) = (1,2,3) + s(2/3, -2/3, 1/3) + t(1/3,
2/3, 2/3).
Solution
orthogonal => a.b = 0
u.(2x+y-2z) =
(2/3)(2)+(-2/3)(1)+(1/3)(-2)
= 0
v.(2x+y-2z)= (1/3)(2) + (2/3)(1) + (2/3)(-2) = 0
substitute P in plane eq
2(1)+2-2(3)+2
