might be: \[\frac{ (\vec {a}\cdot \vec{b}\cdot\vec{c}) }{ ||\vec {a}\cdot \vec{b}\cdot \vec{c} || }\]

but id like to make sure

\(\large\rm \vec{PQ}\) and \(\large\rm \vec{PR}\) are two vectors in the plane, ya? Taking their cross-product will give you a vector perpendicular to the plane.

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Do I just subtract their components to get the combined vector PQ and PR?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yes.\[\large\rm \vec{PQ}=\left<3,-1,-1\right>-\left<-3,-1,-2\right>\]

Thank you zep you da best!

I don't remember much from multi-variable Calculus. I probably won't be able to help on many of these problems. lol :)
