Question in Content created by Newcastle University
A plane goes through three given non-collinear points in 3-space. Find the Cartesian equation of the plane in the form $ax+by+cz=d$.
There is a problem in that this equation can be multiplied by a constant and be correct. Perhaps d can be given as this makes a,b and c unique and the method of the question will give the correct solution.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Find the Cartesian form $ax+by+cz=d$ of the equation of the plane $\boldsymbol{r=r_0+\lambda a+\mu b}$.
The solution is not unique. The constant on right hand side could be given to ensure that the left hand side is unique.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Find angle between plane $\Pi_1$, given by three points, and the plane $\Pi_2$ given in Cartesian form.
The calculation of $cos(\alpha)$ at the end of Advice has fractionNumbers switched on and so the result is presented as a fraction, which can be misleading. Best if calculation is followed through without using fractionNumbers.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Find minimum distance between a point and a line in 3-space. The line goes through a given point in the direction of a given vector.
The correct solution is given, however the accuracy of 0.001 is not enough as in some cases answers near to the correct solution are also marked as correct.

Find a unit vector orthogonal to two others.
Uses $\wedge$ for the cross product. The interim calculations should all be displayed to enough dps, not 3, to ensure accuracy to 3 dps. If the cross product has a negative x component then it is not explained that the negative of the cross product is taken for the unit vector.
