Planes $x-2y-2z+1=0$ & $2x-3y-6z+1=0$ ....

Let the acute angle bisector of the two planes $x-2y-2z+1=0$ and $2x-3y-6z+1=0$ be the plane P. Then which of the following points lies on P?

(A) $(0,2,-4)$
(B) $(4,0,-2)$
(C) $(-2,0,-\frac {1}{2})$
(D) $(3,1,-\frac {1}{2})$

Solution

Bisectors are given by,

$\frac{{x - 2y - 2z + 1}}{3} =  \pm \frac{{2x - 3y - 6z + 1}}{7}$

$ \Rightarrow 7x - 14y - 14z + 7 =  \pm (6x - 9y - 18z + 3)$

Hence, $x-5y+4z+4=0$ & $13x-23y-32z+10=0$

Let $\theta $ be the angle between $x-2y-2z+1=0$ & $x-5y+4z+4=0$

$\cos \theta  = \frac{{|1 + 10 - 8|}}{{3 \times \sqrt {42} }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {42} }} < \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$

$\theta > 45^\circ $

So, $x-5y+4z+4=0$ is the obtuse angle bisector.

$\therefore $ Acute angle bisector $P \equiv 13x - 23y - 32z + 10 = 0$

The point $(-2,0,-\frac {1}{2})$ satisfies P.

${\log _{\sqrt 5 }}\left[ {3 + \cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4} + x} \right) + \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + x} \right) + \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} - x} \right) - \cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4} - x} \right)} \right]$

The range of the function $f(x) = {\log _{\sqrt 5 }}\left[ {3 + \cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4} + x} \right) + \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + x} \right) + \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} - x} \right) - \cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4} - x} \right)} \right]$ is: (A) $[ - 2,2]$ (B) $\left[ {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 }},\sqrt 5 } \right]$ (C) $(0,\sqrt 5 )$ (D) $[ 0,2]$ Solution We have, $f(x) = {\log _{\sqrt 5 }}\left( {3 - 2\sin \frac{{3\pi }}{4}\sin x + 2\cos \frac{\pi }{4}\cos x} \right)$ $ \Rightarrow f(x) = {\log _{\sqrt 5 }}\left[ {3 + \sqrt 2 (\cos x - \sin x)} \right]$ Now, $ - \sqrt 2  \le \cos x - \sin x \le \sqrt 2 $ $\therefore - 2 \le \sqrt 2 (\cos x - \sin x) \le 2$ $\therefore 1 \le 3 + \sqrt 2 (\cos x - \sin x) \le 5$ $\therefore{\log _{\sqrt 5 }}1 \le {\log _{\sqrt 5 }}[3 + \sqrt 2 (\cos x - \sin x)] \le {\log _{\sqrt 5 }}5$ $ \Rightarrow 0 \le f(x) \le 2$ Answer: (D)
