n^(→) = AB^(→) × AC^(→) = determinant (((−8 2 12)),((−2 −4 6))) = (60, 24, 36 ) AX^(→) = (x−6, y−2, z+4) eq of plane ⇒ AX^(→) . n^(→) = 0 ⇒60(x−6)+24(y−2)+36(z+4)=0 ⇒5x−30+2y−4+3z+12=0 ⇒5x+2y+3z−22=0

AB^(→) =(−8, 2, 12) AC^(→) =(−2, −4, 6) n^→ =AB^(→) ×AC^(→) =(−8,2,12)×(−2,−4,6) =(60,24,36) say any point on the plane is P(x,y,z) AP^(→) =(x−6, y−2, z+4) we have AP^(→) ⊥n^(→) , ⇒AP^(→) ∙n^(→) =0 ⇒60(x−6)+24(y−2)+36(z+4)=0 ⇒10x+4y+3z−22=0 ✓

why n^(→) = (60,24,36)?

$${why}\:\overset{\rightarrow} {{n}}\:=\:\left(\mathrm{60},\mathrm{24},\mathrm{36}\right)? \\ $$

Commented by mr W last updated on 18/Dec/22

n^→ =(−8,2,12)×(−2,−4,6)=(60,24,36) you got a different n^→ , because you wrongly took AB^(→) =(−8,2,−12). please recheck.

$$\overset{\rightarrow} {{n}}=\left(−\mathrm{8},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{12}\right)×\left(−\mathrm{2},−\mathrm{4},\mathrm{6}\right)=\left(\mathrm{60},\mathrm{24},\mathrm{36}\right) \\ $$$${you}\:{got}\:{a}\:{different}\:\overset{\rightarrow} {{n}},\:{because}\:{you} \\ $$$${wrongly}\:{took}\:\overset{\rightarrow} {{AB}}=\left(−\mathrm{8},\mathrm{2},−\mathrm{12}\right). \\ $$$${please}\:{recheck}. \\ $$
