The plane passing through the line $$L:lΒ π₯ - π¦ + 3(1 - π )π§ = 1, π₯ + 2π¦ - π§ = 2$$Β and perpendicular to the plane $$3π₯ + 2π¦ + π§ = 6$$ is $$3π₯ - 8π¦ + 7π§ = 4$$. If $$\theta$$Β is the acute angle between the line $$πΏ$$ and the π¦-axis, then $$415 \cos^{2}\theta $$ is equal to_______.Β Β
Correct Answer: 125
The line $$L$$ is the intersection of the planes
$$lx-y+3(1-l)z-1=0$$Β and $$x+2y-z-2=0$$
Any plane passing through $$L$$ is
$$\left(lx-y+3(1-l)z-1\right)+\lambda(x+2y-z-2)=0$$
$$=(l+\lambda)x+(2\lambda-1)y+(3-3l-\lambda)z-(1+2\lambda)=0$$
Given plane is
$$3x-8y+7z-4=0$$
Comparing coefficients,
$$\frac{l+\lambda}{3}=\frac{2\lambda-1}{-8}=\frac{3-3l-\lambda}{7}=\frac{1+2\lambda}{4}$$
Using
$$\frac{2\lambda-1}{-8}=\frac{1+2\lambda}{4},$$
$$4(2\lambda-1)=-8(1+2\lambda)$$
$$8\lambda-4=-8-16\lambda$$
$$24\lambda=-4$$
$$\lambda=-\frac16$$
Now,
$$\frac{l-\frac16}{3}=\frac{1+2\left(-\frac16\right)}{4}$$
$$\frac{l-\frac16}{3}=\frac{2/3}{4}=\frac16$$
$$l-\frac16=\frac12$$
$$l=\frac23$$
Hence, normals of the two planes are
$$\vec n_1=(2,-3,3)$$
and
$$\vec n_2=(1,2,-1)$$
Therefore, direction vector of the line is
$$\vec d=\vec n_1\times\vec n_2$$
$$= \begin{vmatrix} \hat i&\hat j&\hat k\\ 2&-3&3\\ 1&2&-1 \end{vmatrix}$$
$$=\hat i(3-6)-\hat j(-2-3)+\hat k(4+3)$$
$$=-3\hat i+5\hat j+7\hat k$$
Thus,
$$\vec d=(-3,5,7)$$
Let $$\theta$$ be the acute angle between the line and the $$y$$-axis.
Then,
$$\cos\theta=\frac{|5|}{\sqrt{(-3)^2+5^2+7^2}}$$
$$=\frac5{\sqrt{9+25+49}}$$
$$=\frac5{\sqrt{83}}$$
Therefore,
$$\cos^2\theta=\frac{25}{83}$$
Hence,
$$415\cos^2\theta=415\cdot\frac{25}{83}$$
$$=5\cdot25$$
$$=125$$
Therefore, the required value is
$$\boxed{125}$$.
