Find an equation of the plane that contains the points p(5,−1,1),q(9,1,5),and r(8,−6,0)p(5,−1,1),q(9,1,5),and r(8,−6,0).

Given plane passes through:
p(5,-1,1), q(9,1,5), r(8,-6,0)
We need to find a plane that is parallel to the plane through all three points, we form the vectors of any two sides of the triangle pqr:
pq=p-q=<5-9,-1-1,1-5>=<-4,-2,-4>
pr=p-r=<5-8,-1-6,1-0>=<-3,5,1>
The vector product pq x pr gives a vector perpendicular to both pq and pr. This vector is the normal vector of a plane passing through all three points
pq x pr
=
i j k
-4 -2 -4
-3 5 1
=<-2+20,12+4,-20-6>
=<18,16,-26>
Since the length of the normal vector does not change the direction, we simplify the normal vector as
N = <9,8,-13>
The required plane must pass through all three points.
We know that the normal vector is perpendicular to the plane through the three points, so we just need to make sure the plane passes through one of the three points, say q(9,1,5).
The equation of the required plane is therefore
Π : 9(x-9)+8(y-1)-13(z-5)=0
expand and simplify, we get the equation
Π : 9x+8y-13z=24
Check to see that the plane passes through all three points:
at p: 9(5)+8(-1)-13(1)=45-8-13=24
at q: 9(9)+8(1)-13(5)=81+9-65=24
at r: 9(8)+8(-6)-13(0)=72-48-0=24
So plane passes through all three points, as required.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
- 4x³y² + 6
the x is raised to the power of 3 , that is exponent of x is 3

Well it is b I’m 80% sure
Since the triangles are similar, all sides are proportional by the same scale factor.
The relationship between the bases 32 and 8 is 4 (32/8 = 4). This means that the smaller triangle need to be multiplied by a scale factor 4 to result in the bigger triangle.
This means that 4x + 12 is 4 times greater than 15.
The equation to solve for x can be written as:
4x + 12 = 4*15
Now just solve for x as u normally would
4x + 12 = 60
(Subtract twelve from both sides)
4x = 48
(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x)
x = 12
I hope this somewhat helped :)
Was my explanation clear enough?
