Vector and Scalar Equations of a Plane

avatar

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


In this video I go over planes in 3D and derive the vector equation of a plane and then convert that into scalar equations of a plane. A plane can be described by a point on the plane and a vector perpendicular to the plane. This perpendicular or orthogonal vector is called a normal vector. We can obtain a formula for the plane by noting that the dot product is equal to zero for perpendicular vectors. And then we can take a vector on the plane and towards the point on the plane and compute the dot product with the normal vector to obtain the vector equation of a plane. If we expand this vector equation by writing out its components and expanding out the dot product, we obtain the scalar equation of a plane.

I also go over an example on determining the equation of a plane, and as usual use the amazing GeoGebra 3D graphing calculator to graph out the plane. You can play around with the GeoGebra calculator here: https://www.geogebra.org/calculator/yrgywmbr
