A plane has an $xyz$-equation $x+y=2$. Give a vector perpendicular to the plane.
In an effort to find the line in which the planes $ 2x -y- z=2 $ and $-4x+2y+2z=1$ intersect, a student multiplied the first one by $2$ and then added the result to the second. He got $0=5$. Explain the result.

Suppose that a mass $M$ is fixed at the origin in space. When a particle of unit mass is placed at the point $(x,y)$ other than the origin, it is subjected to a force $G[x,y]$ of gravitational attraction. Plot the vector field $G[x,y]$, if the magnitude (length) of $G[x,y]$ is $\frac{kM}{r^2}$, where $r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$.
