233. Establish by vector method the equation of the plane making intercepts a. b, c on the co-ordinate axes in the form of straight x over straight a plus straight y over straight b plus straight z over straight c space equals space 1.


Let the equation of plane be
       straight r with rightwards arrow on top. space straight n with rightwards arrow on top space equals space straight d                                ...(1)
Let the plane meet the axes in A, B, C respectively such that OA = a, OB = b, OC = c
A with position straight a space straight i with rightwards arrow on top lies on the plane (1)
therefore space space space space straight a space space straight i with hat on top space. space straight n with hat on top space space equals space straight d space space space space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space space straight i with rightwards arrow on top. space straight n with rightwards arrow on top space equals space straight d over straight a                      ...(2)
Similarly,    straight j with rightwards arrow on top. space straight n with rightwards arrow on top space equals space straight d over straight b                ...(3)

and            straight k with rightwards arrow on top. space straight n with rightwards arrow on top space equals space straight d over straight c                 ...(4)
 Now (1) can be written as

                 open parentheses straight x space straight i with rightwards arrow on top space plus space straight y space straight j with rightwards arrow on top space plus space straight z space straight k with rightwards arrow on top close parentheses space. space straight n with rightwards arrow on top space equals space straight d
or space space space straight x space straight i with rightwards arrow on top space. space straight n with rightwards arrow on top space plus space straight y space straight j with rightwards arrow on top space. space straight n with rightwards arrow on top space plus space straight z space straight k with rightwards arrow on top space. space straight n with rightwards arrow on top space equals space straight d
or space space straight x space open parentheses straight d over straight a close parentheses space plus space straight y open parentheses straight d over straight b close parentheses space plus space straight z space open parentheses straight d over straight c close parentheses space equals space straight d
or space space straight x over straight a plus straight y over straight b plus straight z over straight c space equals space 1
which is required equation of plane x.
