Find the points (if they exist) at which the following planes and curves
intersect.
$$8 x+y+z=60 ; \quad \mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle t, t^{2}, 3
t^{2}\right\rangle, \text { for }-\infty
a. Show that the point in the plane \(a x+b y+c z=d\) nearest the origin is \(P\left(a d / D^{2}, b d / D^{2}, c d / D^{2}\right),\) where \(D^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2} .\) Conclude that the least distance from the plane to the origin is \(|d| / D\). (Hint: The least distance is along a normal to the plane.) b. Show that the least distance from the point \(P_{0}\left(x_{0}, y_{0}, z_{0}\right)\) to the plane \(a x+b y+c z=d\) is \(\left|a x_{0}+b y_{0}+c z_{0}-d\right| / D\).
Identify and briefly describe the surfaces defined by the following equations. $$9 x^{2}+y^{2}-4 z^{2}+2 y=0$$
