hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

example: describe the locus of points in a plane equidistant from points A and B |dw:1400857785529:dw|

OpenStudy (amistre64):

use the distance formula, but im still working on how to make it more general

OpenStudy (amistre64):

spose we have a center: (u,v,w) we can define all the points that are a distance of, r, from it as: (x-u)^2 + (y-u)^2 + (z-w)^2 = r^2 but that forms a sphere, we would need to employ the normal of a plane that slices thru it in some manner

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is it as simple as taking the normal (a,b,c) and using it like a plane eqaution? a(x-u)^2 + b(y-u)^2 + c(z-w)^2 = r^2 maybe?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

no, then they aint perp to it by definition ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i honestly do not know how to complete this problem. that is all of the information that was given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im assuming that we would need to draw them out and then label them as different bisectors but i dont know how to draw those
