4. Find the equation of the plane passing through the point (–2, 1, 3) and having
(3, –5, 4) as d.r.’s of its normal.
Sol: The equation of the plane with a,b,c as normal d.r’s passing through the point (x1,y1,z1) is

a(x – x1) + b(y – y1) + c(z – z1) = 0.

Here, (x1, y1, z1) = (–2, 1, 3) and a = 3, b = –5, c = 4

∴ The required equation is 3(x + 2) –5(y – 1) + 4(z – 3) = 0

Verify Rolle's theorem for the function f(x) = x(x+3) e–x/2 on [–3,0]

Sol: Given function f(x) is (i) continuous on [–3, 0] and (ii) differentiable in (–3, 0)

Now, f(x) = x(x+3)e–x/2

B
Y
⇒ f(–3) = (–3)(–3+3)e–3/2 = –3(0)e–3/2=0. Also f(0) = (0)(0+3)e–3/2=0

∴ f(–3) = f(0)
B
A
Hence, f(x) satisfies all the 3 conditions of Rolle's theorem.

B
∴ By Rolle's theorem, there exists c∈(–3,0) such that f'(c) =0

Now, f(x) = x(x + 3)e–x/2 = (x2 + 3x)e–x/2.
