Find the vector equation of the plane passing through the intersectionof the planes r(2i^+2j^3k^)=7\vec{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}) = 7, r(2i^+5j^+3k^)=9\vec{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) = 9 and through the point (2, 1, 3).
Solution:  
The given planes are r(2i^+2j^3k^)=7\vec{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}) = 7 and r(2i^+5j^+3k^)=9\vec{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) = 9
r=xi^+yj^+zk^,\vec{r} = x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + z\hat{k}, we get
(xi^+yj^+zk^)(2i^+2j^3k^)=7(x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + z\hat{k}) \cdot (2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}) = 7 and (xi^+yj^+zk^)(2i^+5j^+3k^)=9(x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + z\hat{k}) \cdot (2\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) = 9
i.e. 2x + 2y – 3z – 7 = 0 ...(1)
and 2x + 5y + 3z – 9 = 0 ...(2)
Any plane through the intersection of (1) and (2) is :
(2x + 2y – 3z – 7) + k(2x + 5y + 3z – 9) = 0 ...(3)
Since it passes through (2, 1, 3).
∴ (4 + 2 – 9 – 7) + k (4 + 5 + 9 – 9) = 0
10+k×9=0\Rightarrow -10 + k \times 9 = 0
k=109\Rightarrow k = \frac{10}{9}
Putting in (3), we get
(2x + 2y – 3z – 7) + 109\frac{10}{9} (2x + 5y + 3z – 9) = 0
⇒ 18x + 18y – 27z – 63 + 20x + 50y + 30z – 90 = 0
⇒ 38x + 68y + 3z – 153 = 0
(xi^+yj^+zk^)(38i^+68j^+3k^)=153\Rightarrow (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + z\hat{k}) \cdot (38\hat{i} + 68\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) = 153
r(38i^+68j^+3k^)=153\Rightarrow \vec{r} \cdot (38\hat{i} + 68\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) = 153
which is the required equation.
