MATH 2300 - Calculus III Spring 2010 Homework 1 - SOLUTIONS 1.

. Find the equation of the sphere centered at (3, 2, 1), which is tangent to: (a) the xz -plane
SOLUTION: In order to be tangent to the xz -plane, the radius must be exactly the distance from the center to the xz -plane, or 2 units. Therefore the equation is (x + 3)2 + (y 2)2 + (z 1)2 = 4 .

(b) the plane x = 7


SOLUTION: The radius will be the distance from the center to the plane x = 7, or r = 7 (3) = 10. Thus, the equation is (x + 3)2 + (y 2)2 + (z 1)2 = 100 .

Problems 2 - 7 involve the parallelogram shown below, with vertices at A(2, 1, 4), B (1, 0, 1), C (1, 2, 3), and D. Find the following:

2. the coordinates of D
SOLUTION: The point D(x, y, z ) can be used to form the # vector AD = x 2, y + 1, z 4 , which is equal to the vec# tor BC = 0, 2, 4 on the opposite side of the parallelogram. Thus, we nd that D has coordinates (2, 1, 8) .

3. the interior angle at B (in degrees)


# # SOLUTION: Using the vectors BA = 1, 1, 5 and BC = 0, 2, 4 , we have: = cos1 # # BA BC # # |BA||BC | = cos1 18 27 20

Therefore, the angle at B is approximately 39.2 .

# 4. a vector of length 5 in the direction of CB


# SOLUTION: To nd a vector of length 5 in the direction of CB , we start by nding a unit vector parallel to the vector: # CB 0, 2, 4 = # = 20 |CB | 2 4 0, , 20 20 = 10 20 0, , 20 20

4 2 Now, we can multiply the unit vector by the desired length: 5 0, , 20 20

# # BC 5. projBD
SOLUTION: The vector projection is given by # # 1, 1, 9 0, 2, 4 38 # BD BC # # BC = projBD 1, 1, 9 = 1, 1, 9 = # 2 (BD) = 83 83 |BD| 38 38 342 , , 83 83 83

6. the area of the parallelogram


SOLUTION: The area of the parallelogram is found using the magnitude of the cross product: # # |AB BC | = i 1 0 j k 1 5 2 4 216 = 6 6

= |14i + 4j 2k| =

7. a unit vector which is orthogonal to the plane containing the parallelogram


# # SOLUTION: We can use the value of the cross product found in problem 6, since n = AB BC = 14, 4, 2 . Then, to construct the unit vector, we divide by its length, also found in problem 6: n 1 = 14, 4, 2 = |n| 6 6 2 1 7 , , 3 6 3 6 3 6

8. For what real values of a and b are the three vectors x = a, b, 1 , y = 1, b, b a , z = 1, a, a + b mutually orthogonal? (That is, each pair of vectors is orthogonal.)
SOLUTION: In order to test for orthogonality, we test to see when the dot product of the vectors is equal to zero. The three dot products give us: x y = a b2 + b a = b2 + b = b(1 b) = 0 x z = a ab + a + b = ab + b = b(1 a) = 0 y z = 1 + ab + b a = 0 Checking b = 0 in the third equation, we have 1 a2 = 0 = a2 = 1 = No solution. = a = 0 or a = 1. The Checking b = 1 in the third equation, we have 1 + a + 1 a2 = a a2 = a(1 a) = 0 common solution to satisfy all three is then a = b = 1

= =

b = 0 or b = 1 b = 0 or a = 1

9. Find the equation of the plane containing the point (3, 1, 4) that satises each condition: (a) parallel to the yz -plane.
SOLUTION: A plane that is parallel to the yz -plane is also perpendicular to the x-axis. Therefore, we can use the vector i as the normal vector. n (r r0 ) = i [(x 3)i + (y + 1)j + (z 4)k] = x 3 = 0 x=3

(b) orthogonal to the line x = 1 2t, y = t 1, z = 3t 5.


SOLUTION: The direction vector of the line, v = 2i + j + 3k (from the coecients of t in the parametric equations) serve as the normal vector for the plane. n (r r0 ) = (2i + j + 3k) [(x 3)i + (y + 1)j + (z 4)k] = 2x + 6 + y + 1 + 3z 12 = 0 2x + y + 3z = 5

(c) containing the line x = 1 2t, y = t 1, z = 3t 5.


SOLUTION: We must construct 2 vectors that lie parallel to the plane in order to nd the normal vector. The direction vector of the line, v = 2i + j + 3k is parallel to the plane. Also, the initial point (where t = 0) on the line, (x0 , y0 , z0 ) = (1, 1, 5) lies on the plane. If we nd the vector between this point and the original point (3, -1, 4), we can construct a second vector parallel to the plane: w = (3 (1))i + (1 (1))j + (4 (5))k = 2i + 9k Then the normal vector can be found by nding the cross product v w: i j k v w = 2 1 3 = 9i + 24j 2k 2 0 9 n (r r0 ) = (9i + 24j 2k) [(x 3)i + (y + 1)j + (z 4)k] = 9x 27 + 24y + 24 2z + 8 = 0 9x + 24y 2z = 5

10. Find the parametric equations of the line of intersection of the planes x + y z = 7 and 3x 2y + z = 5.
SOLUTION: To nd the direction vector of the line, we nd the cross product of the normal vectors n1 = i + j k and n2 = 3i 2j + k. This will give a vector that is perpendicular to both normal vectors, and therefore it will be parallel to both planes. i j k v = n1 n2 = 1 1 1 = i 4j 5k 3 2 1 We must then nd a point which lies on the line of intersection, in other words, a point which lies on both planes simultaneously. We can do this by selecting one coordinate of the point, and then solving for the other 2 coordinates: Let y = 0, then xz =7 3x + z = 5 x = 3, z = 4

The parametric equations of the line are: x = 3 t, y = 4t, z = 4 5t Note: This answer is not unique. Any line with a point that lies on both planes, and has a direction vector parallel to the vector v is valid.

11. Using a computer and given the lines: L1 : x = 2t + 3, y = t 3, z = 3t + 3 and L2 : x = s + 1, y = 2s 2, z = s

nd the parametric equations of the line which is orthogonal to both L1 and L2 , and passes through their point of intersection. Also using a computer, print the graph of L1 , L2 , their point of intersction, and the line which is orthogonal to both L1 and L2 on the same coordinate system. Please remember to print your input and output for submission with HW1.
