Lets Find It Out..
First we'll find the equation of ALL planes parallel to the original one.
As a model consider this lesson:
Equation of a plane parallel to other
The normal vector is:
<span><span>→n</span>=<1,2−2></span>
The equation of the plane parallel to the original one passing through <span>P<span>(<span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span>,<span>z0</span>)</span></span>is:
<span><span>→n</span>⋅< x−<span>x0</span>,y−<span>y0</span>,z−<span>z0</span>>=0</span>
<span><1,2,−2>⋅<x−<span>x0</span>,y−<span>y0</span>,z−<span>z0</span>>=0</span>
<span>x−<span>x0</span>+2y−2<span>y0</span>−2z+2<span>z0</span>=0</span>
<span>x+2y−2z−<span>x0</span>−2<span>y0</span>+2<span>z0</span>=0</span>
Or
<span>x+2y−2z+d=0</span> [1]
where <span>a=1</span>, <span>b=2</span>, <span>c=−2</span> and <span>d=−<span>x0</span>−2<span>y0</span>+2<span>z0</span></span>
Now we'll find planes that obey the previous formula and at a distance of 2 units from a point in the original plane. (We should expect 2 results, one for each half-space delimited by the original plane.)
As a model consider this lesson:
Distance between 2 parallel planes
In the original plane let's choose a point.
For instance, when <span>x=0</span> and <span>y=0</span>:
<span>x+2y−2z=1</span> => <span>0+2⋅0−2z=1</span> => <span>z=−<span>12</span></span>
<span>→<span>P1</span><span>(0,0,−<span>12</span>)</span></span>
In the formula of the distance between a point and a plane (not any plane but a plane parallel to the original one, equation [1] ), keeping <span>D=2</span>, and d as d itself, we get:
<span><span>D=<span><span>|a<span>x1</span>+b<span>y1</span>+c<span>z1</span>+d|</span><span>√<span><span>a2</span>+<span>b2</span>+<span>c2</span></span></span></span></span>
<span>2=<span><span><span>∣∣</span>1⋅0+2⋅0+<span>(−2)</span>⋅<span>(−<span>12</span>)</span>+d<span>∣∣</span></span><span>√<span>1+4+4</span></span></span></span>
<span><span>|d+1|</span>=2⋅3</span> => <span><span>|d+1|</span>=6</span>First solution:
<span>d+1=6</span> => <span>d=5</span>
<span>→x+2y−2z+5=0</span>Second solution:
<span>d+1=−6</span> => <span>d=−7</span>
<span>→x+2y−2z−7=<span>0</span></span></span>
