Exercise 30

Avg difficulty 2.5
  1. Find the plane that goes through the points (1,2,3)(1,2,3), (4,5,6)(4,5,6), and (7,8,9)(7,8,9) or explain why there is not one plane that satisfies this condition.

  2. Find all planes in R3\mathbb{R}^3 whose line of intersection with the xzxz-plane is given by πx+ez=5\pi x +e z=\sqrt{5}.

  3. Give two vectors that are in the plane given by 3x+4y=6z−203x+4y=6z-20 and are orthogonal to each other.

  4. Give the equations of two planes that make a 90∘90^\circ angle with 3x+4y=6z−203x+4y=6z-20 and have an angle of 90∘90^\circ between them as well.

  5. Give the parametric form of the line of intersection for the planes given by x+y+z=10x+y+z=10 and −2x−4y+2z=7-2x-4y+2z=7.
