Answer:

Distance of the point from its image = 8.56 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Co-ordinates of point is (-2, 3,-4)

Let's say

x_1\ =\ -2

y_1\ =\ 3

z_1\ =\ -4

Distance is measure across the line

\dfrac{x+2}{3}\ =\ \dfrac{2y+3}{4}\ =\ \dfrac{3z+4}{5}

So, we can write

\dfrac{x-x_1+2}{3}\ =\ \dfrac{2(y-y_1)+3}{4}\ =\ \dfrac{3(z-z_1)+4}{5}\ =\ k

=>\ \dfrac{x-(-2)+2}{3}\ =\ \dfrac{2(y-3)+3}{4}\ =\ \dfrac{3(z-(-4))+4}{5}\ =\ k

=>\ \dfrac{x+4}{3}\ =\ \dfrac{2y-3}{4}\ =\ \dfrac{3z+16}{5}\ =\ k

=>\ x\ =\ 3k-4,\ y\ =\ \dfrac{4k+3}{2},\ z\ =\ \dfrac{5k-16}{3}

Since, the equation of plane is given by

x+y+z=3

The point which intersect the point will satisfy the equation of plane.

So, we can write

3k-4+\dfrac{4k+3}{2}+\dfrac{5k-16}{3}\ =\ 3

=>6(3k-4)+3(4k+3)+2(5k-16)\ =\ 18

=>18k-24+12k+9+10k-32\ =\ 18

=>\ k\ =\dfrac{13}{8}

So,

x\ =\ 3k-4

   =\ 3\times \dfrac{13}{8}-4

   =\ \dfrac{7}{4}

y\ =\ \dfrac{4k+3}{2}

   =\ \dfrac{4\times \dfrac{13}{8}+3}{2}

   =\ \dfrac{19}{4}

z\ =\ \dfrac{5k-16}{3}

  =\ \dfrac{5\times \dfrac{13}{8}-16}{3}

   =\ \dfrac{-21}{8}

Now, the distance of point from the plane is given by,

d\ =\ \sqrt{(x-x_1)^2+(y-y_1)^2+(z-z_1)^2}

   =\ \sqrt{(-2-\dfrac{7}{4})^2+(3-\dfrac{19}{4})^2+(-4+\dfrac{21}{8})^2}

   =\ \sqrt{(\dfrac{-15}{4})^2+(\dfrac{-7}{4})^2+(\dfrac{9}{8})^2}

   =\ \sqrt{\dfrac{225}{16}+\dfrac{49}{16}+\dfrac{81}{64}}

   =\ \sqrt{\dfrac{1177}{64}}

   =\ 4.28

So, the distance of the point from its image can be given by,

D = 2d = 2 x 4.28

            = 8.56 unit

So, the distance of a point from it's image is 8.56 units.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

<h2>0.00390625 / 4^{-4} </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

so you are saying do:

4^{2} /4^{6} which is 16 /4096

16/4096=0.00390625

<u>another way you can do this is</u>

4^{2} /4^{6}

just subtract the powers

2-6=-4

so the answer is 4^{-4}
