TopicVector Product and Surfaces

  1. Points \(A , B\) and \(C\) have coordinates \(( 0,1 , - 4 ) , ( 1,1 , - 2 )\) and \(( 3,2,5 )\) respectively.
    1. Find the vector product \(\overrightarrow { A B } \times \overrightarrow { A C }\).
    2. Hence find the equation of the plane \(A B C\) in the form \(a x + b y + c z = d\).

    4. The greatest value of \(r\) on the curve occurs at the point \(P\).
      1. Show that \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi\) at the point \(P\).
      2. Find the value of \(r\) at the point \(P\).
      3. Mark the point \(P\) on a copy of the graph.
    5. In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
    Find the exact area of the region enclosed by the curve.
