原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

先比较第一式和第三式的系数。左边成比例,但右边不成同样的比例,因此方程组无解。第二个平面的法向量与前两个不平行。

The left-hand side of the third equation is times that of the first, but . Adding times the first equation to the third gives
which is impossible. Therefore the equations are inconsistent for every , so they do not have a unique solution.
The first and third equations represent distinct parallel planes. The second has normal , which is not proportional to for any . It intersects each of the parallel planes in a line, and there is no common point of all three.
