Generalizing Exercises 5 and 6, we may define the perpendicular bisector of a line segment in Rn to be the hyperplane through the midpoint of the segment that is orthogonal to the segment. (a) Give an equation for the hyperplane in R5 that serves as the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining the points P1(1, 6, 0, 3,−2) and P2(−3,−2, 4, 1, 0). (b) Given arbitrary points P1(a1, . . . , an) and P2(b1, . . . , bn) in Rn, provide an equation for the hyperplane that serves as the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining them.
