To find the Cartesian equation of the plane that passes through the point A(1, 2, 3) and is perpendicular to the vector \(\vec{n} = 2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}\), we can use the formula for the equation of a plane in three-dimensional space. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Normal Vector and Point**: The normal vector \(\vec{n}\) is given as \(2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}\), which can be represented as \((a, b, c) = (2, -3, 4)\). The point through which the plane passes is \(A(1, 2, 3)\), which gives us the coordinates \((x_1, y_1, z_1) = (1, 2, 3)\). 2. **Use the Plane Equation Formula**: ...
