Given plane Π : f(x,y,z) = 4x+3y-z = -1
Need to find point P on Π  that is closest to the origin O=(0,0,0).

Solution:
First step: check if O is on the plane Π : f(0,0,0)=0 ≠ -1 => O is not on Π
Next:
We know that the required point must lie on the normal vector <4,3,-1> passing through the origin, i.e. 
P=(0,0,0)+k<4,3,-1> = (4k,3k,-k)
For P to lie on plane &Pi; , it must satisfy
4(4k)+3(3k)-(-k)=-1
Solving for k
k=-1/26
=>
Point P is (4k,3k,-k) = (-4/26, -3/26, 1/26) = (-2/13, -3/26, 1/26)
because P is on the normal vector originating from the origin, and it satisfies the equation of plane &Pi;
Answer: P(-2/13, -3/26, 1/26) is the point on &Pi; closest to the origin.

S - 10,000 = 3,753<br><br>A. s = 13,573<br><br>B. s = 13,753<br><br>C. s = 10,375
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

B. s = 13753

Step-by-step explanation:

s - 10000 = 3753

To find value of s, add both sides by 10000

s - 10000 = 3753

   +10000    +10000

-----------------------------------

s = 13753

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The <u>larger </u>size container and the Cold farms is the better deal for Sheldon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 gallon = 8 pints

2.50 \times 8 =20

Multiply  the gallons to 20

8 × 20 = 160

Then, the large size is 18.

4.50 ×4 =18 (1 Gallon= 4 quartz)

Therefore, the <u>larger </u>size container and the Cold farms is the better deal for Sheldon.
