Lines and Planes in Space The three-dimensional coordinate sstem is used in chemistr to help understand the structure of crstals. For eample, isometric crstals are shaped like cubes Arnold Fisher/Photo Researchers, Inc. SELECTED APPLICATIONS Three-dimensional analtic geometr concepts have man real-life applications.

8 Chapter Analtic Geometr in Three Dimensions. The Three-Dimensional Coordinate Sstem What ou should learn Plot points in the threedimensional coordinate sstem. Find distances between points in space and find midpoints of line segments joining points in space. Write equations of spheres in standard form and find traces of surfaces in space. Wh ou should learn it The three-dimensional coordinate sstem can be used to graph equations that model surfaces in space, such as the spherical shape of Earth, as shown in Eercise 66 on page 89. The Three-Dimensional Coordinate Sstem Recall that the Cartesian plane is determined b two perpendicular number lines called the -ais and the -ais. These aes, together with their point of intersection (the origin), allow ou to develop a two-dimensional coordinate sstem for identifing points in a plane. To identif a point in space, ou must introduce a third dimension to the model. The geometr of this three-dimensional model is called solid analtic geometr. You can construct a three-dimensional coordinate sstem b passing a -ais perpendicular to both the - and -aes at the origin. Figure. shows the positive portion of each coordinate ais. Taken as pairs, the aes determine three coordinate planes: the -plane, the -plane, and the -plane. These three coordinate planes separate the three-dimensional coordinate sstem into eight octants. The first octant is the one in which all three coordinates are positive. In this three-dimensional sstem, a point P in space is determined b an ordered triple,,, where,, and are as follows. directed distance from -plane to P directed distance from -plane to P directed distance from -plane to P -plane -plane (,, ) NASA -plane FIGURE. FIGURE. A three-dimensional coordinate sstem can have either a left-handed or a right-handed orientation. In this tet, ou will work eclusivel with righthanded sstems, as illustrated in Figure.. In a right-handed sstem, Octants II, III, and IV are found b rotating counterclockwise around the positive -ais. Octant V is verticall below Octant I. Octants VI, VII, and VIII are then found b rotating counterclockwise around the negative -ais. See Figure.. Octant I Octant II Octant III Octant IV Octant V Octant VI Octant VII Octant VIII FIGURE.

Now tr Eercise 5. The Distance and Midpoint Formulas Man of the formulas established for the two-dimensional coordinate sstem can be etended to three dimensions. For eample, to find the distance between two points in space, ou can use the Pthagorean Theorem twice, as shown in Figure.5. Note that a, b, and c.

The Equation of a Sphere A sphere with center h, k, j and radius r is defined as the set of all points,, such that the distance between,, and h, k, j is r, as shown in Figure.7. Using the Distance Formula, this condition can be written as h k j r. B squaring each side of this equation, ou obtain the standard equation of a sphere. Standard Equation of a Sphere The standard equation of a sphere with center h, k, j and radius r is given b h k j r. Notice the similarit of this formula to the equation of a circle in the plane. h k j r Equation of sphere in space h k r Equation of circle in the plane As is true with the equation of a circle, the equation of a sphere is simplified when the center lies at the origin. In this case, the equation is r. Sphere with center at origin

Eplain how this problem gives ou a chance to use all three formulas discussed so far in this section: the Distance Formula in Space, the Midpoint Formula in Space, and the standard equation of a sphere. Find the standard equation of the sphere with center,, and radius. Does this sphere intersect the -plane? h k j r Standard equation Substitute. From the graph shown in Figure.8, ou can see that the center of the sphere lies three units above the -plane. Because the sphere has a radius of, ou can conclude that it does intersect the -plane at the point,, 0. 5 5 FIGURE.8 r = (,, ) 6 7 (,, 0) Now tr Eercise 9.

Now tr Eercise 9. Note in Eample 5 that the points satisfing the equation of the sphere are surface points, not interior points. In general, the collection of points satisfing an equation involving,, and is called a surface in space.

86 Chapter Analtic Geometr in Three Dimensions Finding the intersection of a surface with one of the three coordinate planes (or with a plane parallel to one of the three coordinate planes) helps one visualie the surface. Such an intersection is called a trace of the surface. For eample, the -trace of a surface consists of all points that are common to both the surface and the -plane. Similarl, the -trace of a surface consists of all points that are common to both the surface and the -plane. Eample 6 Finding a Trace of a Surface -trace: ( ) + ( ) = 8 6 0 8 0 Sphere: ( ) + ( ) + ( + ) = 5 FIGURE.0 Sketch the -trace of the sphere given b 5. To find the -trace of this surface, use the fact that ever point in the -plane has a -coordinate of ero. B substituting 0 into the original equation, the resulting equation will represent the intersection of the surface with the -plane. 5 Write original equation. 0 5 Substitute 0 for. 6 5 Simplif. 9 Subtract 6 from each side. Equation of circle You can see that the -trace is a circle of radius, as shown in Figure.0. Now tr Eercise 57. Technolog Most three-dimensional graphing utilities and computer algebra sstems represent surfaces b sketching several traces of the surface. The traces are usuall taken in equall spaced parallel planes. To graph an equation involving,, and with a three-dimensional function grapher, ou must first set the graphing mode to three-dimensional and solve the equation for. After entering the equation, ou need to specif a rectangular viewing cube (the three-dimensional analog of a viewing window). For instance, to graph the top half of the sphere from Eample 6, solve the equation for to obtain the solutions ± 5. The equation 5 represents the top half of the sphere. Enter this equation, as shown in Figure.. Net, use the viewing cube shown in Figure.. Finall, ou can displa the graph, as shown in Figure.. FIGURE. FIGURE. FIGURE.

Wh ou should learn it Vectors in space can be used to represent man phsical forces, such as tension in the cables used to support auditorium lights, as shown in Eercise on page 86. Vectors in Space Phsical forces and velocities are not confined to the plane, so it is natural to etend the concept of vectors from two-dimensional space to three-dimensional space.

As was discussed in Section 6., the angle between two nonero vectors is the angle, 0, between their respective standard position vectors, as shown in Figure.6. This angle can be found using the dot product.

If the dot product of two nonero vectors is ero, the angle between the vectors is 90 (recall that cos 90 0). Such vectors are called orthogonal.

Use geometric properties of cross products of vectors in space. Use triple scalar products to find volumes of parallelepipeds. Wh ou should learn it The cross product of two vectors in space has man applications in phsics and engineering. For instance, in Eercise on page 8, the cross product is used to find the torque on the crank of a biccle s brake.
