Question

) The points (1, 0, 3), (1, 1, 1), and (−2, −1, 2) lie on a unique plane a1x1 + a2x2 + a3x3 = b. Using your previous answers, find an equation for this plane. (Hint: think about the relationship between the previous system and the one you would need to solve in this question.)

Answer 1

Answer:

x1-2x2-x3= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the three points to get three equations:

a1+0a2+ 3a3=d --------------eq i

a1+a2+a3=d----------------eq ii

-2a1-a2+2a3=d---------------eq iii

subtract eq i from eq ii

a2-2a3=0 ----------- eq iv

now add eq iv to eq iii

-2a1=d ------- eq v

put eq v in eq i

a1 + 3a3=-2a1

a3=  -a1 ----------- eq vi

put eq vi in eq iv

a2-2(-a1)=0

a2= -2a1 ------ eq vii

put eq v, eq vi and eq vii in the equation of plane

a1x1+ a2x2+a3x3=d

a1x1 -2a1x2-a1x3=-2a1

x1-2x2-x3= -2

Answer 2

Answer:

2x₁ - x₂ + x₃ = 2
