10 The plane P has normal vector \(2 \mathbf { i } + a \mathbf { j } - \mathbf { k }\), where \(a\) is a positive constant, and the point ( \(3 , - 1,1\) ) lies in P . The plane \(\mathrm { x } - \mathrm { z } = 3\) makes an angle of \(45 ^ { \circ }\) with P . Find the cartesian equation of P . \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER}

3 Three planes have the following equations. $$\begin{aligned} 2 x - 3 y + z & = - 3 \\ x - 4 y + 2 z & = 1 \\ - 3 x - 2 y + 3 z & = 14 \end{aligned}$$

1. 1. Write the system of equations in matrix form.
   2. Hence find the point of intersection of the planes.
2. In this question you must show detailed reasoning. Find the acute angle between the planes \(2 x - 3 y + z = - 3\) and \(x - 4 y + 2 z = 1\).
