    Vectors and how to find the planes to express geometric conditions

    ^^ I was trying to substitute numbers because working in variables was confusing. I do know what cross product, dot product etc. means, I am just not sure how to apply them in solving any of these problems. I think I know how to do 'c' and 'e' but I am not sure how to go about doing 'b' and...

    Vectors and how to find the planes to express geometric conditions

    So I shouldn't try to substitute numbers? I had been trying to do that all along. Okay... I'll try drawing it down instead. Thanks so much... I hope I'd be able to solve this problem now.

    Vectors and how to find the planes to express geometric conditions

    Homework Statement The normal vector of each of the following planes is determined from the coefficients of the x-, y-, z- terms. pi1: a1x+b1y + c1z + d1=0 pi2: a2x+b2y+c2z+d2=0 pi3: a3x+b3y+c3z+d3=0 Define the extended vector for each plan as follows: e1= [a1, b1, c1, d1] e2= [a2, b2, c2...
