Which of the following equation represent pair of perpendicular planes...
Planes represented by (b) are perpendicular planes.
Proof: The planes are given by
6x2+4y2-10z2+3yz+4zx-11xy=0
∴ a=6, b=4, c=-10
∴ a+b+c=6-4-10=0
Remark. Two planes arc perpendicular if the sum of the coefficients of x2, y2 and z2 is zero.

Perpendicular Planes:
Perpendicular planes are two planes that intersect each other at a right angle (90 degrees). In order to determine if a pair of planes are perpendicular, we need to examine the coefficients of the variables in the equations of the planes.
Equation Analysis:
Let's analyze the given equations to determine which pair of planes are perpendicular:
a) 2x^2 - 2y^2 + 4z^2 - 2yz + 6xz - 3xy = 0
b) 6x^2 + 4y^2 - 10z^2 + 3yz + 4zx - 11xy = 0
c) 12x^2 - y^2 + 6z^2 + 7yz + 6zx + 2xy = 0
d) 12x^2 - y^2 + 2z^2 - yz + 5zx + xy = 0
Analysis:
- For two planes to be perpendicular, the dot product of their normal vectors should be zero.
- The normal vectors are given by the coefficients of x, y, and z terms in the equations.
- Let's find the normal vectors for each pair of planes:
a) Normal vector: (2, -3, 6)
b) Normal vector: (6, -11, 4)
c) Normal vector: (12, 2, 6)
d) Normal vector: (12, 1, 5)
Conclusion:
- The pair of planes represented by equation b) 6x^2 + 4y^2 - 10z^2 + 3yz + 4zx - 11xy = 0 have normal vectors (6, -11, 4) and are perpendicular since the dot product of their normal vectors is zero.
- Therefore, option b) represents a pair of perpendicular planes.
