Question

Help! Calculus III problem
Find the distance from the point to the plane
(2,3,4), x+2y+2z =13

Answer 1

Uae 3d - geometrical concept....

Answer 2

I haven't even learned that. The professor didn't explain it too good.

Answer 3

you are doing multivariable calculus?

Answer 4

no. but it involves the usage of this formula.

where do I get the Point in this problem?

Answer 5

I don't know how to do that x(

Answer 6

sorry ... passing through the point.

Answer 7

take gradient of the plane ... that will give dc you normal.

Answer 8

gradient? is there a formula for that? or... is it based off of x+2y+2z=13?

Answer 9

represent the line as
(x-2)/1 = (y-3)/2 = (z-4)/3 = k

Answer 10

where did the 1, 2, and 3 come from?

Answer 11

solve this equation with the plane x+2y+2z =13 to get x, y, z
