The given plane has normal vector

x-2y=5\implies\mathbf n=\langle1,-2,0\rangle

Scaling <em>n</em> by a real number <em>t</em> gives a set of vectors that span an entire line through the origin. Translating this line by adding the vector <2, 1, 1> makes it so that this line passes through the point (2, 1, 1). So this line has equation

\mathbf r(t)=\langle1,-2,0\rangle t+\langle2,1,1\rangle=\langle 2+t, 1-2t, 1\rangle

This line passes through (2, 1, 1) when <em>t</em> = 0, and the line intersects with the plane when

x-2y=5\implies(2+t)-2(1-2t)=5\implies5t=5\implies t=1

which corresponds the point (3, -1, 1) (simply plug <em>t</em> = 1 into the coordinates of \mathbf r(t)).

So the distance between the plane and the point is the distance between the points (2, 1, 1) and (3, -1, 1):

\sqrt{(2-3)^2+(1-(-1))^2+(1-1)^2}=\boxed{\sqrt5}

An online test of English spelling looked at how well people spelled difficult words. The bar graph to the right shows how many
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

60 ; 5220

Step-by-step explanation:

A) From the horizontal bar chart provided, it could be inferred that 85 people spell the word 'weird' correctly. The graph is scaled on a fixed interval of 10. Hence, the midpoint of 10 = 5

(80 + 5) = 85

B) In a group consisting of 8719 randomly selected people estimate how many more people can correctly spell weird than inoculate

From the graph :

85 per 100 could spell weird correctly while,

About 25 per 100 could spell inoculate correctly.

Difference In number per 100 people

(85 - 25) = 60 people per 100

We could round 8719 to the nearest 100 = 8700

Number of 100's in 8700 = 8700/100 = 87

(87 × 60) = 5,220 people
