Assignment Problems Notice
Please do not email me to get solutions and/or answers to these problems. I will not give them out under any circumstances nor will I respond to any requests to do so. The intent of these problems is for instructors to use them for assignments and having solutions/answers easily available defeats that purpose.

Section 17.2 : Parametric Surfaces
For problems 1 – 10 write down a set of parametric equations for the given surface.
- The plane containing the three points \(\left( {1,4, - 2} \right)\), \(\left( { - 3,0,1} \right)\) and \(\left( {2,4, - 5} \right)\).
