A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Let $ g$ be the line given by

$\displaystyle \vec{x}= \left( \begin{array}{c} 2 \\ -2 \\ -1 \end{array} \right) + t \left( \begin{array}{c} -1 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{array} \right) $

and let $ P$ be the point $ (2,-1,1)$ .
a)
Calculate the distance between $ P$ and $ g$ .
b)
Determine the defining equation of the plane $ E$ spanned by the points $ A=(0,1,1)$ , $ B=(1,2,2)$ and $ C=(1,0,1)$ .
c)
Let $ F$ be the plane spanned by $ g$ and $ P$ . At which angle do $ E$ and $ F$ intersect each other?
d)
Calculate the volume of the parallelepiped spanned by $ A$ , $ B$ , $ C$ and $ D=(-3,0,1)$ .
