Equation of a plane

Hello again, everyone. This is Tom from everystepcalculus.com, everystepphysics.com. A problem with the equation of a plane that I found on Yahoo questions from a student. And I’m going to answer it in my programs here. Index 8 to my menu scroll down here to equation of a plane now and your calculator you can go second and which is quicker with your fingers and go screen by screen down to in the menu. There’s equation of a tangent plane is not what we’re looking for a look at our equation of a plane right there. There it is. And we’re given a point and a line in the problem. You have to press alpha before you enter anything into these entry lines, here. The point is 1 alpha 6 and alpha minus 4. These again all contrived problems, they never happen in real life ever. It’s just crunching numbers for no reason which is perfect for calculus. Calculus is like studying crossword puzzles to learn English. It’s a waste of time, in my opinion. But we have to pass your test we have to get through this course which you’re required to take so that’s the reason I program it for myself and I’m program for you. There’s the poin.t I say it’s ok I give you a chance to change in cases not. We’re gonna add a parametric line equation which is alpha 1+2 times t.
and the y value is alpha 2-3 times t. and the z value is alpha 3 – t. Again I show you what you’ve entered you can change. it looks pretty good to me. It’s a vector now. That’s what these little indications here are. It’s called a vector. I say it’s ok. So we do the calculations. We take T equal to zero, we come up with 1, 2, 3, here. At t equals 1 you put that in the problem. substitute one in for t’s. you’ll put parentheses in here, I have to put quotation marks because the calculation can’t go to let me do anything different and so then therefore we have 3-1 2. We have our 3 points for a plane ab&c. Here they are. And now we’re going to go find a vector from point c to b which is called vector d. I call it vector d, I call it vector d is equal to 1, 2, 3 minus the 3 minus 1 2. We do those calculations and we come up with this. Vector c to a, vector e is this. 1 6 minus 4, 3 minus 1, 2. We’re going to find the normal perpendicular well normal is perpendicular to the two vectors. Cross product, they call it normal but I mean I like to do it practical. And we’re gonna cross product d times e the two we just found which is these times this ok. Now, you try to do this from memory. Go ahead, try it; not me. It’s a waste of time. So anyway, here’s the the actual calculations. Matrix calculation multiplication and we’re doing these calculations. Make sure you write these on
your paper, now. and equals minus 25 14 8. That’s the normal vector to the two vectors we found. And so we do computations of the equation of a plane, etc Make sure you write all this in your paper, exactly like to see. And the answer is minus 25 X plus minus 14 y plus minus eight z plus 77 equals 0. pretty neat, huh? everystepcalculus.com. Go to my site, buy my programs, pass calculus. You’ll burn your calculus book but you’ll never throw away the calculator with my programs ever because you never know when your life who your partner is or your grandkids or somebody’s gonna do calculus eventually and you have all this in your calculator from then on. Have a good one.

You are an angel sent from above TOM!!! Thank you so much for being patient with me. I got the programs to work and I am very confident I am going to pass this class once and for all. The Double and Triple Integrals programs are a life saver! Thank You Thank You Thank You!

-Cotto

Tom-    I showed my ex, who is a calculus professor, and he was waaaaaaay impressed. And he is an arrogant ass, who never helped me ever...I could tell he wanted to hate on it, but he couldnt.

Tom...I think that I’m finally done with Calculus II. In the prior test I got 78 and yesterday I finished all the problem on the test. I think I should be able to remain around the same grade. Thank you so much for your help; your programs really made the difference. They didn’t just solve the problems for you, in my case, they gave me the confidence and security I had lost with those stupid professors and the way they teach. To be honest, studying the programs on my calculator taught  me how to solve problems that I couldn’t do before due to the way they were presented. I felt confident and secure yesterday, and it only possible because either I remember  how to do the problems or the calculator would. Thanks one more time for time, dedication and quick responses. There is no other person in the whole world that would do what you do for us , college students being  killed  with freaking calculus classes.      John

Tom-     Got it to work with that link you sent me!  Just wanted to say thanks for all the great work you do, and for helping me pass this calculus class.  I'm going to tell everyone about this and make them pay the $30 dollars because you have done a splendid job programming my friend.  Let me know if you have any new programs for derivatives or integrals and Ill let you know if I need any more help!  Much thanks,                -Eric

I basically just needed to say that you're an amazing man. Basically saved my life during my emag theory course    

-DoubtingThomas  (Youtube vectors review here)

oh my god I figured it out. You're the freaking best!      -Sarah

Thanks Tom. I appreciate you taking the time to break down and explain these to me. :0)     -Nelson

 Tommy,     Great talking with you last night. I already liked you for developing this “most excellent program” but after our conversation I concluded you to be a great guy. I’ve been playing with this program most of the night, took in a few “z’s” and am back for more. This program really is superb. I did, however, notice that for some unknown reason when I attempt to do Relative Extrema’s and Trajectories that both programs came up as “Program not Found”. I’m not sure if I will be encountering the Trajectory stuff in this semester of Calculus but I do have a test this Thursday that includes Relative Extrema. Any suggestion, oh Master of this great creation?! I’m going to be gone most the day but should be home late afternoon if you got time to call. Same number (843-xxx-xxxx). That’s Myrtle Beach, 3 hours ahead of you and more golf courses than you can shake a stick at. Thanks    -Joe

Wow! Awesome! These are great, so great, thank you!            -Kristen

Tom is the man! His program is helping me pass my calculus class. He was willing to help me immediately when I couldn't get one of the programs working! This application is in my opinion a STEAL! I've never met Tom in person but I'll owe passing this class to every step calculus.
