VECTOR PROBLEM..Find the normal and write the plane equation in scalar product form.PLEASE HELP!!!!!

(i-j-k)=0.....PLEASE HELPPP!......
Find the vector equation in scalar product of the plain that contains the lines
r=i+j+s(i+2j-k)
r=i+j+t(-i+j-2k)
i use the cross product on the direction vectors of the 2 lines and i get -3i+3j+3k
after doing the rest of the work my equation plane is r.(-3i+3j+3k)=0...the answer at the back of the book is r.(i-j-k)=0.....PLEASE HELPPP!!!I,ll reward 10 points straight away!!

I'm pretty sure that your answer is correct because it is a multiple of the answer given in the back of the book (there is no unique equation of a plane - think of the plane as being infinite, so it does not matter what the multiple of the equation is).

-
If you multiply both sides of the equation in your answer by -1/3, then you obtain the answer in the back of the book. So, your answer is equivalent to the book's answer.

I hope this helps!

The two answers are equivalent. Multiply both sides of your equation by (-1/3) to get the answer in the book.
