Homework 4, Due Monday, October 7


Let Q(3,2,7) be a point and let L be the line whose equation in vector form is x,y,z=2,5,3+t1,2,2.

a) Find the equation of the plane P1 that contains Q and L.
b) Find the equation of the plane P2 that contains Q and is orthogonal to L.
c) Find the equation of a line through Q that is orthogonal to P2.
d) Find the distance from Q to L.
e) Find the equation of a line through Q that intersects L. There are many possible answers (depending on where it hits L).
f) Find the equation of a line through Q that does NOT intersect L. How do you know that the two lines don't intersect?
