Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point having position vector `hat"i" + 2hat"j" + 3hat"k"  "and perpendicular to vectors"  hat"i" + hat"j" + hat"k" and 2hat"i" - hat"j" + hat"k"`.

Solution

Let `bar"b" = hat"i" + hat"j" + hat"k" and bar"c" = 2hat"i" - hat"j" + hat"k"`

The vector perpendicular to the vectors `bar"b" and bar"c"` is given by 

`bar"b" xx bar"c" = |(hat"i",hat"j",hat"k"),(1,1,1),(2,-1,1)|`

= `hat"i"(1 + 1) - hat"j"(1 - 2) + hat"k"(-1 - 2)`

= `2hat"i" + hat"j" - 3hat"k"`
Since the line is perpendicular to the vector `bar"b" and bar"c", "it is parallel to"   bar"b" xx bar"c"`.

The vector equation of the line passing through `"A"(bara)  "and  parallel to"  bar"b" xx bar"c"  "is"  bar"r" = bar"a" + λ(bar"b" xx bar"c")`, where λ is a scalar.

Here, `bar"a" = hat"i" + 2hat"j" + 3hat"k"`

Hence, the vector equation of the required line is `bar"r" = (hat"i" + 2hat"j" + 3hat"k") +  λ(2hat"i" + hat"j" - 3hat"k")`.
