Preliminaries

Distance Formula:

Distance between two points, P(x, y, z,) and Q(x2, y2, z2)

 

  PQ = 

Direction Cosines :

If a line OP makes an angle , and with X, Y and Z  axes respectively then the quantities cos , cos , cos are called direction cosines (d. c. s) of line OP, where O is the origin.Direction cosines of line are denoted by l, m, n

Direction ratios :

Numbers  a, b, c which are proportional to direction cosines  l, m, n respectively are called direction ratios of given line.

We can prove that  

  l = , m =  , n =

 

(x1 – x2, y1 – y2, z1 – z2) are d. r.’s of line joining the points and (x2, y2, z2).

 

 

Angle between two lines :

If l1, m, n and l2, m2, n2 are d. c. s of two line and if is angle between those two lines then
cos = l1l2 + m1 m2 + n1 n2

cos =

Equation of Plane :

5.4 Sphere:

Definition :

The locus of a point which moves in space such that it remains at a constant distance from a fixed point defines a spherical surface or a sphere. The fixed point is called the centre of the sphere and the constant distance is called the radius.

 

Equation of Sphere :

a)  Centre – radius form :

Let P (x, y, z) be any point on sphere and C (a, b, c) be centre and r be radius   then by distance formula the equation of sphere is

  (x – a)2 + (y – b)2 + (z – c)2=r2 …(1) 

Note : If centre of sphere is (0, 0, 0) then its equation is given by x2 + y2 + z2 = r2

 

 (b) General form :

Equation(1) can be simplified as

 x2 + y2 + z2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz + k = 0 where and     

This is general equation of sphere.

Centre of sphere is (– u, – v, – w) and radius = 

 (c) Diameter form :Ifare end points of diameter of sphere then 

         equation of sphere is

  (x – x1) (x – x2) + (y – y1) (y – y2) + (z – z1) (z – z2)=0

 

 

Ex1) Find the equation of sphere passing through the points (1 ,3 ,1 ), (2 ,- 1 ,1 ),               (1 ,2 ,0 ), (1 ,- 1 ,1 ).

Sol)

Let the equation of sphere be

     x2 + y2 + z2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d = 0……………(1)

 Since, sphere pass through the point ( 1,3,1),therefore from equation ( 1 ), we get

 

1 + 9 + 1 + 2u+6v+2w+d=0 2u+6v+2w+d= - 11.........(2)

 Since, sphere pass through the point ( 2,-1,1),therefore from equation ( 1 ), we get

 4 + 1 + 1 + 4u-2v+2w+d=0 4u-2v+2w+d= - 6............(3)

 Since, sphere pass through the point ( 1,2,0),therefore from equation ( 1 ), we get

 1 + 4 + 0 + 2u+4v+0+d=0 2u+4v+d= - 5............(4)

 Since, sphere pass through the point ( 1,-1,1),therefore from equation ( 1 ), we get

 1 + 1 + 1 + 2u-2v+2w+d=0 2u-2v+2w+d= - 3............(5)

Eq(2) - Eq(3) gives   - 2u + 8v = - 5 ........(6)

Eq(2) – Eq(4) gives  2v + 2w = - 6.......(7)

Eq.(2)-Eq(5) gives 8v = - 8 v = -1

Using value of v in equation (6) we get  u = - 3/2

Using value of v in equation (7) we get w = - 2

Using values of u,v,w in equation(2) we get d = 2

From equation(1), we get   x2 + y2 + z2 + 2(-3/2)x + 2(-1)y + 2(-2)z + 2 = 0

   x2 + y2 + z2 - 3x - 2y - 4z + 2 = 0

 

Ex2) Find the equation of sphere which passes through origin and makes equal intercepts of unit length on the axes. 

Sol)

 

Let equation of spherebe  x2 + y2 + z2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d=0……………(1)

  d = 0  ( sphere pass through origin)

 Since sphere intersect at 1 on x-axis i.e. sphere intersects-axis at the point (1 , 0 ,0 )

  1 + 2u = 0  (  makes inter apt 1 on x-axis)

    u = 

 Similarly,  v =   (sphere intersect y-axis at the point ( 0 ,1 ,0 )

 ,  w = –  (sphere intersect z-axis at the point ( 0 ,0 ,1 )

Using values of u,v,w  and d in equation(1) ,we get

   x2 + y2 + z2 – x – y – z  = 0                                         

 

Ex.3: Prove that the spheres

 x2 + y2 + z2 – 2x + 4y – 4z = 0 and x2 + y2 + z2 + 10 x + 2z + 10 = 0

 touch each other. Find the co-ordinates of point of contact.

Soln. :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Let  S1 = x2 + y2 + z2 – 2x + 4y – 4z = 0 

 Centre  c1 = (1, – 2, 2)

 Radium,  r1 = = 3   

  S2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 10x + 2z + 10 = 0

 Centre,  c2 = (– 5, 0, – 1)

 Radius,  r2 = = = 4

 Now  d (C1 C2) ==

               = = = 7

  r1 + r2 = 3 + 4 = 7

ie distance between  centers of two sphere is equal to sum of radii therefore the spheres touches each other externally.

Let P be the point of contact. We observe that P divides join of C1C2 in the ratio 4:3

 

Ex4) Find the equation of sphere which has its centre at (2, 3, –1) and touches the line  

Sol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Equation of line is given in symmetrical form.

The co-ordinates of any point on line are given by,

  = k

  x = – 5k – 1, y = 3k + 8, z = 4k + 4

The co-ordinates of any point on this line are of the form x = – 5k – 1, y = 3k + 8, z = 4k + 4

Let these are co-ordinates of point P   P (– 5 k – 1, 3k + 8, 4k + 4)………(1)

 Direction ratios of OP are (– 5k –3, 3k + 5, 4k + 5)…( direction of join of P(x1, y1, z1) and Q(x2, y2, z2) are (x1 – x2, y1 –y2, z1 – z2))

Also d. r.s of given line are (– 5, 3, 4)

If P is point of contact, OP is perpendicular to given line

–5 (– 5k – 3) + 3 (3k + 5) + 4 (4k + 5) = 0 

 25k + 9k + 16k + 15 + 50  = 0

 50k + 50  = 0    k = – 1

  co-ordinates of  P (4, 5, 0)  ( put k = -1 in eq.(1))

  OP = radius of sphere =

  OP =  = 3

 By using centre-radius form,

  (x – 2)2 + (y – 3)2 + (z + 1)2  = 9

  x2 + y2 + z2 – 4x – 6y + 2z + 5  = 0

 

Ex5) Find the equation of sphere touching three co-ordinate planesand the plane 2x + y + 2z = 6.

Sol)

 Let the equation of sphere be x2 + y2 + z2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d = 0……………(1)

Co-ordinates of center of sphere are ( -u , -v,-w)

The equations of co-ordinates planes x = 0, y = 0, z = 0.

The length of perpendicular from centre of sphere to these planes is equal to radius of sphere.

   =  = =    ( by formula of length of perpendicular                  

                                                                                               from point on given plane)

We have u = v = w  ( from first three ratios)

From last two ratios,

  u = 

  5u + 6 = 3u

  u = - 3

 (– u, – v, – w)  = (3, 3, 3)  ( u = v = w)

  radius = x-co-ordinate of center of sphere = - u = 3

  Equation of sphere

  (x – 3)2 + (y – 3)2 + (z – 3)2 = 9

  x2 + y2 + z2 – 6x – 6y – 6z + 18  = 0

 

 

Ex6) A sphere of constant radius r passes through the origin and cuts the axes in A, B, C. Prove that the locus foot of perpendicular from origin to the plane ABC is given by

(x2 + y2 + z2) (+ + ) = 4r2.    

Sol)

Let sphere passes through origin and intercepts co-ordinate axes at say 

  A(x1,0,0),B(0,y1,0),C(0,0,z1)

Equation of sphere is given by

  x2 + y2 + z2 – x1x – y1y – z1z = 0

 Center of sphere is ( x1,y1,z1)

Radiaus = = r    (given)

  +  +  = 4r2   …(1)

Now equation  plane cutting axes at A, B, C is

   +  +  = 1 …(2)

Let (, , ) be foot of perpendicular from origin to the plane ABC (locus point).

 drs of  OP  , ,

 drs of  PQ  x – , y – , z –

OP is normal to plane   OP PQ

  (x – ) +  (y – ) +  (z – ) = 0

  x + y +  z =  +  +  = M (say)

    x + y+  z = M

   + +  = 1 …(3)

Comparing Equation (2) and  (3) we get,

x1 =  , y1 =  , z1 =

Equation (1)

   + +  = 4r2

  ( +  + )2= 4r2

i.e.  ( +  + )2 ( +  + ) = 4r2

 i.e.            (x2 + y2 + z2) (+ + ) = 4r2

 

 

Sphere:Tangent plane

A plane say touching given sphere say in only one point is called as tangent plane of given sphere

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tangent plane Property:

When a plane touch given sphere then length of perpendicular from centre of sphere to plane is equal to radius of sphere.

 

Ex1) Find the  equation of sphere which passes through the point (1, 0, 0) and touchesthe plane 2x – y – 2z – 4 = 0 at the point (1, 2, – 2).

Sol)

 

 

 

 

 

  2x – y – 2z – 4 = 0

 

 

Let C be center of sphere and let sphere touch the plane 2x – y – 2z – 4 = 0 at the point

Say P(1, 2, – 2)

Line CP is normal to plane  2x – y – 2z – 4 = 0 therefore d,r,’s of line CP are 2,-1,2.

Line CP passing through point P(1, 2, – 2)

Equation of normal CP is, = = = k

x = 2k + 1,y = - k +2,z = - 2k-2

  The co-ordinates of any point on this line are of the form x = 2k + 1,y = - k +2,z = - 2k-2

 Let these are co-ordinates of point center C of sphere 

  C (2k+ 1, –k + 2, – 2k – 2)

 we have CP2 = CQ2

(2k + 1– 1)2 + (– k + 2 – 0)2 + (– 2k – 2 – 0)2

   = (2k + 1– 1)2 + (– k + 2 – 2)2 + (– 2k – 2+ 2)2

4k2 + (2 – k)2 + (2k + 2)2 = (2k)2 + (– k)2 + (– 2k)2

4 – 4k + k2 + 4k2 + 8k + 4 = k2 + 4k2

  4k = – 8

These are co-ordinates of any general point on line CP.

Let these are co-ordinates of point P.

ie P P (2t – 1, – 2 t + 2, t + 1)

As P lies on given plane U = 0

ie on 2x – 2y + z + 14 = 0

2 (2t – 1) – 2 (– 2 t + 2) + (t + 1) + 14 = 0

4t – 2 + 4t – 4 + t + 1 + 14 = 0

9t + 9 = 0  t = –1

P = P (– 2 – 1, 2 + 2, –1 + 1)

Let the equation of sphere be x2 + y2 + z2 +2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d = 0.  And the equation of plane be

Ulx + my + nz – p = 0

If a plane lx + my + nz – p = 0 cuts the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 +2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d = 0. 

The section obtained is a circle for this we show that PQ is constant and P is fiexd.

From Fig. CQ is radius of sphere (fixed)

For a given plane and sphere the foot of perpendicular from centre is fixed.

P is fixed point.

From right angled triangle CPQ.

  CP2 + PO2 = CQ2

  PQ =   

   = 

  PQ = Constant

Thus the locus is a circle.

Intersection of two spheres :

The curve  of intersection of two sphere is a circle.

 

 

 

 

Equation of circle :

The common section of a sphere and a plane  represents a circle. Therefore equation of sphere and plane together represents a circle.

Thus if S = 0 is equation of sphere and U = 0 is equation of plane, the equations

S = 0 and U =  0 together represents a circle.

Similarly two sphere S1 = 0, S2 = 0 also represents equation of circle.

Note : 

(1) In three dimensional geometry circle is represented by the combination of  two equations. i.e. S = 0, U = 0.

(2) The equation of sphere passing through the circle which is section of sphere

 S = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d = 0 and plane U = ax + by + cz + d = 0 is given by

      S + U =  0.

(3) For different values of we get  different spheres passing through given circle.

Here we find co-ordinates of centre of sphere then by using centre – radius form we find equation of sphere.

Given circle is section of required sphere taken by plane x + 2y – 2z + 11 = 0

Centre of this circle is P (1, – 1, 5)

Radius of circle say l (PQ) = 4 

Line CP is normal to plane x + 2y – 2z + 11 = 0

dr’s of line CP are 1, 2, – 2

Line CP pass through point P (1, –1, 5)

Equation of line CP are

   = = = t say

   x = t + 1, y = 2t – 1, z = – 2t + 5

 Let  c   (t + 1, 2t – 1, – 2t + 5)    … (1)

Now from right angle triangle CPQ,  

 l (CP)2 + l (PQ)2 = l (CQ)2

 [(t + 1) – 1]2 + [(2t – 1) + 1]2 + [(– 2t + 5) – 5]2 + 42 = l (CQ)2

  9t2 + 16 = l (CQ)2   … (2)

We have l (CQ)  = l (CA)   ( Radius of sphere)

 lCQ = lCA

 9t2 + 16 = [(t + 1) – 6]2 + [(2t – 1) – 4]2 + [(– 2t + 5) – 3]2

  = (t – 5)2 + (2t – 5)2 + (– 2t + 2)2

Here we find equation of plane by which section of sphere S = 0 is taken co-ordinates of centre of sphere are C (– 2, 3, –1)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Line CP is normal to required plane and line CP pass through the points P (1, 2, 2) and C– 2, 3, – 1

dr’s of line CP are 1 – (– 2), 2 – 3, 2 – (– 1) ie 3, – 1, 3

Equation of plane to which line CP is normal is of the form 3x – y + 3z + d = 0               … (1)

But point P (1, 2, 3) lies on plane given by equation (1)

     3(1) – (2) + 3(2) + d  = 0

   d = 7

   From equation (1), 3x – y + 3z + 7  = 0

Required equation of circle is

x2 + y2 + z2 + 4x – 6y + 2z – 10 = 0 ; 3x – y + 3z + 7 = 0

 

Orthogonal Sphere :

 

The spheres are said to be intersect each other orthogonally  if the tangent planes at their  point of contact intersect each other at right angles.

If the tangent planes to the two spheres intersects at right angle. Implies that the normals at the point of contact to the two planes are also perpendicular to each other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let S1 = 0 and S2 = 0 be two spheres with Centers at C1 and C2 respectively

Where  S1 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2u1 x + 2v1 y + 2w1 z + d1 = 0

  S2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2u2 x + 2v2 y + 2w2 z + d2 = 0

From Fig, (C1C2)2 = (PC1)2 + (PC2)2

 

 (– u1 + u2)2 + (– v1 + v2)2 + (– w1 + w2)2

   = (+  + – d1) + (+  + – d2)

 – 2u1 u2 – 2v1v2 – 2w1 w2 = – d1 – d2

             2u1 u2 + 2v1 v2 + 2w1 w2 = d1 + d2

 

This is condition for two spheres to be orthogonal

Ex1)  Prove that two spheres

 x2 + y2 + z2 + 6y + 4 = 0 x

 x2 + y2 + z2 + 6x + 8y + 4z + 20 = 0 intersect each other orthogonally.

Sol)

 Here  u1 = 0, v1 = - 3, w1 = 0, d1 = 4

  u2 = - 3, v2 = - 4, w2 = - 2, d2 = 20

 Now    2 u1 u2 + 2v1 v2 + 2w1 w2 = 2 (0)(- 3) + 2(-3)(- 4) + 2(0)(- 2) = 24

 Also d1 + d2 = 4 + 20 = 24   

Given spheres intersects orthogonally.

Ex2)  Find the equation of sphere that passes through the circle

 x2 + y2 + z2 – 2x + 3y – 4z + 6 = 0 and

 3x – 4y + 5z – 15 = 0 and cuts the sphere

 x2 + y2 + z2 + 2x + 4y – 6z + 11 = 0 orthogonally.    

Sol)

Equation of required sphere passing through given circle is

(x2 + y2 + z2) – 2x + 3y – 4z + 6 + (3x – 4y + 5z – 15) = 0  … (1)

x2 + y2 + z2 + (– 2 + 3) x + (3 – 4) y + (– 4 + 5) z + (6 – 15) = 0

 Here  u1  = (– 2 + 3), v1 = (3 – 4), w1 = (– 4 + 5)

  d1 = 6 – 15

 For given sphere x2 + y2 + z2 + 2x + 4y – 6z + 11 = 0                               … (2)

u2 = 1, v2 = 2, w2 = – 3, d2 = 11

By given condition ie sphere given by equation (1) cuts the sphere given by (2) orthogonally.

(– 2 + 3) + 2(3 – 4) – 3 (– 4 + 5) = (6 – 15) + 11

   = 

Put value of in equation (1) we get 5(x2 + y2 + z2) – 13x + 19y – 25z + 45 = 0

NOTES:

Ex3) Find the equation of sphere through the circle x2 + y2 + z2 = 4 ; z = 4 and cutting the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 + 10y – 4z – 8 = 0 orthogonally,

Sol)

Equation of sphere passing through given circle x2 + y2 + z2 = 4 ; z = 4 is given by

 (x2 + y2 + z2 – 4) + (z – 4) = 0     … (1)

  x2 + y2 + z2 + z + (– 4 – 4) = 0     … (2)

Here u1 = 0, v1 = 0, w1 = , d1 = – 4 – 4

Given sphere is S1 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 10y – 4z – 8 = 0  … (2)

Here U2 = 0, v2 = 5, w2 = – 2, d2 = – 8

As spheres given by equation (1) cuts the sphere (2) orthogonally we have

2u1u2 + 2v1v2 + w1w2 = d1+ d2

2 (0) (0) + 2 (0) (5) + 2 (– 2) = (– 4 – 4) – 8

  – 2 = – 4 – 12

   2 = – 12

   = – 6

Using value of in equation (1) we get

(x2 + y2 + z2) – 6 (z – 4) = 0

x2 + y2 + z2 – 6z + 8 = 0

 

Great Circle :

 

 

We know that section of sphere S º  x2 + y2 + z2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d = 0 by a plane U º ax + by + cz + d is a circle.

Section of sphere by plane at different position gives circles with different radii. A circle obtained by section of sphere by plane passing through centre of sphere is a circle with maximum radius which is called as great circle.

Note : 

(1) Centre and radius of great circle and sphere is same.

(2) Co-ordinates of centre of sphere satisfies equation of plane 

 

Ex1) Find the equation of sphere for which the circle x2 + y2 + z2 + 7y – 2z + 2 = 0 ; 2x + 3y + 4z = 8 is a great circle

Sol)

Equation of sphere passing through given circle is

 (x2 + y2 + z2 + 7y – 2z + 2) + (2x + 3y + 4z – 8) = 0                                … (1)

 x2 + y2 + z2 + 2x + (7 + 3) y + (– 2 + 4) 2 + (2 – 8) = 0

Centre of this sphere is given by

  C  

Since given circle is a great circle of the

Sphere x2 + y2 + z2 + 7y – 2z + 2 = 0

co-ordinates of centre of sphere satisfies equation of plane 2x + 3y + 4z = 8

2 [– ] + 3  + 4 = 8

   – 2+ 4 – 8

  = –1

Using value of in equation (1) we get

(x2 + y2 + z2 + 7y – 2z + 2) – 1 (2x + 3y + 4z – 8) = 0

x2 + y2 + z2 – 2x + 4y – 6z + 10 = 0

 

Ex2) A sphere S has points (1, –2, 3) and (4, 0, 6) as opposite ends of diameter. Find the equation of the sphere having the intersection of S with the plane x + y – 2z + b = 0 as its great circle.

Sol)  :

Equation of sphere by diameter form is given by,

(x – 1) (x – 4) (y + 2) (y – 0) + (z – 3) (z – 6) = 0

 ie   x2 + y2 + z2 – 5x + 2y – 9z + 2z = 0      … (1)

The intersection of the sphere (1) by a plane x + y – 2z + 6 = 0 is given by,

(x2 + y2 + z2 – 5x + 2y – 9z + 22) + (x + y – 2z + 6) = 0

x2 + y2 + z2 + (– 5 + ) x + (2 + ) y + (– 9 – 2) z + 22 + 6 = 0

Centre of this sphere is

Since given circle is great circle, this centre must lie on given plane x + 2y – 2z + 6 = 0

x – 3 = (z – 2) = 

y – 1 = (z – 2) =

From equation (2),

2 + 3   = 1

 2 = (z – 2)2

 2+ 3  = (z – 2)2

 2 + 3  = z2  – 4z + 4

Right circular cylinder:

Right circular cylinder is a surface generated by a strait lines parallel to a fixed st. line and is at a constant distant from it.  The fixed st line is called axis and fixed distance or radius of circle is radius of cylinder.

Equation of Right Circular Cylinder:

                                                         P(x,y,z)

 

                                                                 Radius

                                 A    M                                          Axis d.r.’s

 

 

 

 

Let axis of cylinder by   =  = 

Let P(x,y,z) be any point on cylinder. A(, , ) be fixed point axis

  PM = radius of cylinder

  AP = 

  AM = Projection of AP on axis

   = 

From Fig. AP2 = AM2 + PM2

AP2 – AM2 = PM2

Which is required equation of RC cylinder.

 

Ex1) Find the equation of the RC cylinder of radius 2 whose axis is the line  =  =  .

Sol)

 

                                                       P(x,y,z)

Let P(x, y, z) be any point on given cylinder.

The d.r.s of axis are 2,1,2. It’s d.c.’s are , ,

i.e.  ,   , .

Since axis of cylinder pass through the point A(1,2,3)

d.r’s of AP ax x – 1, y – 2, z – 3

  AM = Project of AP on Axis

  AM =  (x – 2) +   (y – z) +  (z – 3)

From Fig,

  AP2 = AM2+ PM2

  (x – 1)2 + (y – 2)2 + (z – 3)2 = + 4

5x2 + 8y2 + 5z2 - 4yz – 8xz – 4xy + 22x – 16y – 14z – 10 = 0

                                                       P(x,y,z)

 

                                                                 Radius = 2

                                 A    M                                          Axis d.r.’s

 

 

Here (i) dr’s of axis are 2, – 1, 5

       (ii)  Axis pass through the point A(1, – 3, 2)

         (iii)Radius of normal section of right circular cylinder i.e. radius of cylinder is 2

Let P(x,y,z) be any point on given cylinder. From figure

  l(AP) =  (1) (by distance formule)

  l(PM) = 2 (2) (Radius of cylinder)

  l(AM) = length of line segment AP on axis

Now dr’s of axis are 2, – 1, 5

dc’s of axis ax  ,   , 

i.e.  ,   , 

  l(AM) =  (x – 1) –   (y + 3) +  (z – 2)

  l(AM) =    (3)

From right angled triangle PMA,

l (AM)2+ l(PM)2 = l(AM)2

 + 2 (2)2 = (x– 1)2 + (y + 3)2 + (z – 2)2

(2x – y + 5z – 15)2 + 120 = 30

4x2 + y2 + 25 z2 + 225 – 4xy + 20xz – 60x – 10yz + 30y – 150 z + 120

 = 30 [(x2 – 2x + 1) (y2 + 6y + 9) (z2 4z + 4)]

26 x2 + 29 y2 + 5z2 + 4xy – 20xz + 10yz + 150y + 30z + 75 = 0

                                 A    M                                          Axis  d.r.’s

 

 

 

Axis,    =   = 

dr’s 1,2,2

Let P(x,y,z) ne any point on the cylinder

l(AP) =   (1)

( by distance formula)

L (PM) = 3 (2) (Radius of cylinder)

dr’s of axis are 1,2,2

dc’s of axis are   , ,

i.e. ,  , 

 Now l(AM)  =length of projection of line AP in axis.

   =  (x – 1) +  (y + 2) +  (z – 0)

  

  l(AM) =  (3)

From PMA,

 l(AM)2 + l(PM)2  = l(AP)2

 + (3)2 = (x – 1)2 + (y + 2)2 + z2

(x2 + 4y2 + 4z2 + 9 + 4xy + 4xz + 6x + 8yz + 12y + 12z) + 81

           = 9 [(x2 – 2x + 1) + (y2 + 4y + 4) + z2]

8x2 + 5y2 + 5z2 – 4xy + 4xz +8yz – 24x + 24y – 122 – 90 = 0

 

Ex2) Find the equation of right circular cylinder with radius 2 units, whose axis passes through the point (1,2,3) and has direction consines proportional to 2, – 3, 6.

Since direction cosines of axis of dr’s of cylinder is proportional to 2, – 3,6, there for

dc’s of axis are ,  ,

i. e. ,  ,

 

 

                                                       P(x,y,z)

 

                                                                 Radius = 2

                                 A    M                                          Axis d.r.’s

 

 

 

  l(AP) =  (by distance (1) formula)

  l(PM) = Projection of AP on axis

   =  (x – 1) +  (y – 2) +  (2 – 3)

  l(AM) =  (3)

Now From figure

l(AM)2 + l(PM)2 = l(AP)2

 + (2)2 = (x – 1)2 + (y – 2)2 + (z – 3)2

 

45x2 + 40 y2 + 13z2 + 12xy – 24xz + 36yz – 42x – 280y -126z + 294 = 0.
