Find the Cartesian equation of the following planes:
(a) $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot[(\mathrm{s}-2 \mathrm{t}) \hat{\mathrm{i}}+(3-\mathrm{t}) \hat{\mathrm{j}}+(2 \mathrm{~s}+\mathrm{t}) \hat{\mathrm{k}}]=15$
Find the Cartesian equation of the following planes:
(a) $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot[(\mathrm{s}-2 \mathrm{t}) \hat{\mathrm{i}}+(3-\mathrm{t}) \hat{\mathrm{j}}+(2 \mathrm{~s}+\mathrm{t}) \hat{\mathrm{k}}]=15$

Solution:

Let $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}$ be the position vector of $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}, \mathrm{z})$ is given by
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=\mathrm{x} \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\mathrm{y} \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\mathrm{z} \hat{\mathrm{k}}$
Therefore,
$\vec{r} \cdot[(s-2 t) \hat{i}+(3-t) \hat{j}+(2 s+t) \hat{k}]=15$
On substituting the value of $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}$, we obtain
$(x \hat{i}+\hat{y}+z \hat{k}) \cdot[(s-2 t) \hat{i}+(3-t) \hat{j}+(2 s+t) \hat{k}]=15$
As a result, the Cartesian equation is
$(s-2 t) x+(3-t) y+(2 s+t) z=15$
