First find any two vectors in the plane, and take their cross product. The cross product will be perpendicular to both of them.

To find any vectors in the plane, take any two of the given points at a time, and treating them as vectors, subtract them. These vector differences are parallel to the plane we want to find.

(-3, 1, -2) - (-6, -10, -4) = (3, 11, 2)

(-3, 1, -2) - (15, 5, 20) = (-18, -4, -22)

Take the cross product to get the normal vector to the plane:

(3, 11, 2) x (-18, -4, -22) = (-234, 30, 186)

Let (x, y, z) be any point on the plane. The vector

(x, y, z) - (-3, 1, -2) = (x + 3, y - 1, z + 2)

runs parallel to the plane, so it's perpendicular to the plane's normal, which means their dot product is 0. This gives us the Cartesian equation for the plane,

(-234, 30, 186) • (x + 3, y - 1, z + 2) = 0

-234(x + 3) + 30(y - 1) + 186(z + 2) = 0

-234x + 30y + 186 = 360

Every coefficient has a GCD of 6, so the equation is equivalent to

-39x + 5y + 31z = 60

Finally - and this is the easiest step - write this in parametric form. Let x = s and y = t, then

z = (60 + 39s - 5t)/31

So the plane can be parameterized by

P(s, t) = (s, t, (60 + 39s - 5t)/31)

where s and t are any real numbers.

If Jay had 5 cards and Jill had 10 cards. What is the product?
cupoosta [38]
Hello there,

The word "product" mean's to multiply.

So we are going to do 5 x 10.

This will give us 50 because when we do
10+10+10+10+10 is give's us 50. That is 
what multiplication mean's.

Hope this helps

Your correct answer will be 50 card's

The point (5, -2) is rotated 90° about the origin. Its image is
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

(2,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule to 90 degrees about the origin is (x,y) to (-y,x). You basically switch the values of y and x but remember the value of y is negative. The value of y is -2 so -2 is now 2 since the rule changed the sign (-2×-y=2) and 5 isnt affected except it is the x value. Just know that since they r switched, x is now 2 and y is 5 when rotated 90 degrees about the origin.

Rewrite the expression in z to the n power. The expression I was given is: 1 over z to the negative 1 half power.
12345 [234]

Answer:

The equivalent expression is;

\frac{1}{z^{-\frac{1}{2}}}=z^{\frac{1}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:


\frac{1}{z^{-\frac{1}{2} }}

Recall that:

\frac{1}{a^{-m}}=a^m


In our case, a=z and  m=\frac{1}{2}.


We use this property of exponent to obtain;

\frac{1}{z^{-\frac{1}{2}}}=z^{\frac{1}{2}}

The following equation represents the number of fish in a pond, F(x), after x number of weeks. F(x) = 500 (1.2)x. How many fish
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1) d. 2400

2) d.4200

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given data:

F(x) represents number of fish

x represents number of weeks

Relation between F(x) and x is given as

F(x)= 500 (1.2)x

Now part 1:

How many fish are in the pond after 4 weeks=?

x=4

Putting in given equation  F(x)= 500 (1.2)x

F(x)= 500(1.2)(4)

     = 2400

Now part 2:

How many fish are in the pond after 7 weeks?

x=7

Putting in given equation  F(x)= 500 (1.2)x

F(x)= 500(1.2)(7)

     = 4200 !
