Solution

Equation of plane is `bar"r"*(3hat"i" + 4hat"j" + 12hat"k")` = 8

This is of the form,

`bar"r"*bar"n"` = 8, where `bar"n" = 3hat"i" + 4hat"j" + 12hat"k"`

Now, `|bar"n"| = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2 + 12^2)`

= `sqrt(9 + 16 + 144)`

= 13

The equation `bar"r"*bar"n"` = 8 can be written as

`bar"r"* (bar"n")/|bar"n"| = 8/|bar"n"|`

i.e., `bar"r"*(3/13hat"i" + 4/13hat"j" + 12/13hat"k") = 8/13`,

which is the normal form of the plane.
