I am in an Algebra and Geometry course and am currently studying a unit on equations of planes. Our teacher has given us this question that my friend and I have attempted several times, but we are still unable to solve it. My teacher has also suggested using the internet as a resource. The question is: Prove that a necessary condition that the three planes -x + ay + bz = 0 ax - y + cz = 0 bx + cy - z = 0 have a line in common is that a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2abc = 1 Walter Whiteley lui répond.

	Seed Problem		1998-03-26
		Jody A. Johnson pose la question : Seed Problem: The height of an amazing plant grown from a seed varies linearly with the time it has been in the ground. After six days it is 6cm tall and after 60 days it is 15.8m (1580 cm) tall. Write the particular equation giving the height as a function of time. Find the intercepts and explain them. What would be the height in one year? How long would it take for the plant to grow to a height of 1km? I'm having a problem with this equation. Could you please help. Thank you. Penny Nom lui répond.

	Intersecting Lines.		1998-02-10
		Erik Heppler pose la question : My typewriter frequently makes mistakes. Suppose I gave you the following system of equations to solve: 35.26X + 14.95Y = 28.35 187.3X + 79.43Y = 83.29 When I looked back, I realized that I meant to use 14.96 as the "Y" coefficient in the first equation instead of 14.95. Solving the system using 14.95 and then solving another system using 14.96 with all other values the same both times results in the intersection points (1776, -4186) and (-770, 1816) respectively. How can that be? Penny nom lui répond.
