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.

Sierra applies a coat of epoxy paint to the four sides and floor of a rectangular swimming pool. The pool is 4 feet deep, 18 fee
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

4 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using the formula for surface area of rectangular prism.

A=2(wl+hl+hw)

Where:

w = Width

h = Height

l = Length

The pool is 4 feet deep, 18 feet long, and 12 feet wide.

Hence,

=2 × (12 × 18 + 4 × 18 + 4 ×12)

=672 square feet

One gallon of paint covers 155 square feet.

Hence,

155 square feet = 1 gallon of paint

672 square feet = x

Cross Multiply

155 square feet × x = 672 square feet × 1 gallon of paint

x = 672 square feet × 1 gallon of paint/ 155 square feet

x = 4.335483871 gallons of paint

Therefore, based on the calculation above, approximately to the nearest whole number, Sierra uses 4 gallons of paint

In the equation, 6(3x+5) -4x =35 , what are some of the steps that should be taken to solve for x? Select all that apply.
Natalija [7]
You need to combine like terms and subtract 30. How you find the answer is you work the problem first 1. Distribute the 6 (18x+30)-4x=35 then 2. combine like terms 18x and -4x. (14x+30)=35 then 3. Subtract 30 from both sides (14x)=5
