Homework Statement
Find the unit normal to the plane 3x + 5y - z = 2. What is the distance of the plane from the origin.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The normal vector in component form --> (3, 5, -1)
Magnitude of the normal vector --> √35.
Divide the normal vector by its magnitude to get the unit vector-> (3/√35, 5/√35, -1/√35)
Distance between the plane and the origin --> (!EDIT!) 2 units
Did I get this right?
Thanks
