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.

Veronika works at Future Shop and earns $10.50/h plus 3% commission on sales. Last week Veronika worked 40 hours. What was Veron
son4ous [18]

Answer:

$510

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you would do is multiply 3000 by .03 which would give you 90, then you would multiply her number of hours worked, 40, by  how much she gets paid per hour, 10.50 which will give you 420 then you would just add 90 to 420 and get a total of $510. Veronika's weekly gross salary is $510.

Alex787 [66]

Answer: $175

Step-by-step explanation:

$7.00 x 15 = $105.00

$105.00 / 3 hours = $35/hr.

$35 x 5 = $175
