20. Find an equation for the plane parallel to 3x − 3y + 2x = 5 and through the point (4, 3, 5). 21. Find an equation for the plane orthogonal to the line x(t) = (2 + t, 3 − 2t, 1 − t) and through (1, 0, −3).

20. I suppose you meant to write [tex]3x-3y+2z=5[/tex]? This plane has normal vector (3, -3, 2), so the equation of the plane parallel to this one that goes through (4, 3, 5) is

[tex](3,-3,2)\cdot(x-4,y-3,z-5)=0\implies3(x-4)-3(y-3)+2(z-5)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies 3x-3y+2z=13[/tex]

21. The tangent to [tex]x(t)[/tex] is parallel to the normal vector to the plane, so we can simply use it as the normal vector. This tangent vector is

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dx(t)}{\mathrm dt}=(1,-2,-1)[/tex]

Then the plane has equation

[tex](1,-2,-1)\cdot(x-1,y,z+3)=0\implies(x-1)-2y-(z+3)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x-2y-z=4[/tex]
