Let α, β, γ, δ be real numbers such that α2+β2+γ2=0 and α+γ=1.
Suppose the point (3,2,−1) is the mirror image of the point (1,0,−1) with respect to the plane αx+βy+γz=δ.
Then which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
Given: α,β,γ,δ∈R,α2+β2+γ2=0,α+γ=1Mirror image of P(1,0,−1) is Q(3,2,−1) in plane αx+βy+γz=δTo find: which of the following are TRUE?(1)α+β=2(2)δ−γ=3(3)δ+β=4(4)δ+β+γ=δP(1,0,−1)andQ(3,2,−1)PQ=Q−P=(2,2,0)M=2P+Q=(2,1,−1)Plan: 1.(α,β,γ)∥PQ2.α+γ=1⇒α,β,γ3.M on plane⇒δ,then check options(α,β,γ)∥PQ=(2,2,0)α:β:γ=2:2:0⇒γ=0,α=βα+γ=1⇒α=1,β=1,γ=0αx+βy+γz=δ⇒x+y=δM(2,1,−1)∈x+y=δ⇒2+1=δδ=3(1)α+β=1+1=2✓(2)δ−γ=3−0=3✓(3)δ+β=3+1=4✓(4)δ+β+γ=3+1+0=4=δ=3✗∴α=β=1,γ=0,δ=3(1),(2),(3) are TRUE
