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.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

.07 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question all you need to do is divide the money spent by the amount of months. 45.50/612=0.0743464052 but since you cant spend .0043464052 of a cent we have to change the answer to .07. To check our answer is right all we need to do is multiply 0.0743464052 by 612=45.499999 so we know the answer is correct.

givi [52]

Answer:

9.983796

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time, it becomes smaller by 5/2 (6 divided by 5/2 is 12/5.... 12/5 divided by 5/2 is 24/25)

So, the first seven terms are 6, 2.4, 0.96, 0.384, 0.1536, 0.06144, 0.024756. Add them together and your answer would be 9.983796
