    Vector Calculus - Equations for planes tangent to given equation

    So finding all of the planes would be akin to finding all of the lines through the origin by creating the general form of the equation: y = Ax + B Where A and B could be any constants and thus determine any line. Thus to find the tangent planes, you would find a general form of the...
