Objective: The goal of Lab 01 is to introduce the student to CalcPlot3D, plot points, line segments, planes, and
a specified line normal to the plane
1) To plot points represented by the vertices, go to
2)
Select and pull down the menu to select Point(x,y,z).
Enter the coordinated of your desired point and
resize it so as to make it more visible. You can also
visit these introduction videos.
3)
You can plot the plane with z = f(x,y) or implicitly.
To plot line segments, go to Select and pull down
the menu to select Space Curve: r(t), then enter the
direction numbers and a fixed point for the line. Be
sure to define the domain of the parameter so that
the result is the side of a triangle. Do this for all
three sides.
DELIVERABLE
Given points,
A(3,4,0), B(-5, -2, -3), and C(-4, 3, 4),
Plot the ABC,
Plot the plane that contains ABC,
Plot the normal line to the plane that contains
vertex A.
Adjust the orientation of the graph so that all that
is requested is clearly visible.

Math 4A CalcPlot3D Lab 01
Topic: Graphing Points, Line Segments, and Planes and a Typical Normal line.
In addressing the logic to how your final image created, I would like to have you describe your procedure:
1. I first need to plot the three points A, B, and C by using the plot points option.
2. To create triangle ABC, I need to graph the line segments from three lines. This requires a fixed point and
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ , 𝐴𝐶
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ , and 𝐵𝐶
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ . The sides of the triangle are segments so I
the direction vector for each of the three lines, 𝐴𝐵
will need to do that by . . .
3. Now I need to determine the equation of the plane and use the Implicit Function option to enter the
equation of the plane. This is how I determine the equation of the plane:
4. I have to plot the line in the direction of the normal at the point A(3,4,0) by doing the following:
5. Everything looks good. Now all I need to doing is to select an orientation of the images that best reflects the
completion of the requested tasks clearly and show all my equations and operations with the submission.
