Calculus 3: 3D Space

Consider the planes x + y + z = 1 and x - 2y + 3z = 1

a. Find the angle between the two planes

b. Find symmetric equations for the line of intersection of the two planes

Using a topographical map, analyze the contours to plan a route through the mountains with minimal elevation changes. Discuss the importance of this analysis in winter sports like skiing or snowshoeing.

Solve problems involving different variations of axes given a three-dimensional graph and assess the suitability of the axis variation for the right-hand rule.
