dot product of a * b

a * b = a1b1+a2b2+a3b3

using scalar triple product: a<1, 4, -7>, b<2, -1, 4>, c<0, -9, 18> they are also coplanar

a dot b cross c is equal to 0, the scalar triple product indicates the points lie within the same plane

Scalar Triple Product

a dot b crossed c.

Normal vector of plane

a plane in space is determined by a point p-not(x-not, y-not, z-not) in the plane and a vector n that is orthogonal to the plane. n is orthogonal to every vector in the plane, so an arbitrary point may be used.

Scalar Equation of a Plane

a scalar equation of the plane through the point p-not(x-not, y-not, z-not) with normal vector n equals <a, b, c>

angle theta between vector a and b

a times b equals absolute power of a times absolute power b time cos of theta

absolute power of a cross b is also equal to absolute power of a times absolute power of b sin theta

find the angle between the vectors a = <2, 2, -1> and b = <5, -3, 2>

absolute power of a would be equal to 3, the absolute power of b would be equal to sqrt(38) the dot product of a and b would equal 2. the answer would be arccosine 2 over 3 sqrt(38)

corollary angle of theta between the nonzero vectors a and b

cos theta is equal to the dot product of a and b over the absolute power of a times absolute power of b

find the vectors corresponding to PQ and PR. since both a and b lie in the plane, their cross product a cross b is orthogonal to the plane and can be taken as the normal vector. n=aXb which then equals 12i + 20j + 14k - the normal vector (n). Using point P and the normal vector(n) the equation of the plane is 12(x - 1) + 20(y - 3) + 14(z - 2) = 0 simplifying to 6x + 10y +7z = 50

Volume of a parallelepiped

the volume of a parallelepiped is determined by the vectors a, b, c and is the magnitude of their scalar triple product. which is the absolute power of a dot b cross c
