To find: The equation of the plane.
Answer to Problem 34E
The equation of the plane is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given equation is
Calculation:
Comparing the given line with standard parametric equation of a line .
Therefore, the
The normal vector n to the plane can be obtain by the cross product of the vectors
Hence the vector
Expending the above determinant along first row, we get
Therefore, the normal vector to the plane is
the equation of the plane,
Therefore, the equation of the plane containing that point
Simplifying the above equation ,
Multiplying the above equation by
Therefore, the equation of the plane is
