A hint to get started
Transform a plane after finding intersections and parallel offsets
A has position vector . Line l is , and plane p is .
(i) If l and p meet in exactly one point, what can be said about b? marks
Use b=1 for the rest.
(ii) Find N, their intersection. marks
(iii) Show the shortest distance from A to p is . marks
(iv) Plane p1 is parallel to p at shortest distance . Find a possible equation in scalar-product form. marks
(v) Plane p undergoes, in order: translation 3 units in negative x; scaling parallel to the y-axis by factor 1/2; reflection in the xy-plane. Find a Cartesian equation of the resulting p2. marks
