No justifications are needed.1)T FThe vectors h3, −2, 1i and h−6, 4, −2i are parallel.2)T FIf |~v × ~w| = 0 then ~v =~0 or ~w =~0.3)T FThe surface x2+ 4y2= z2+ 1 has two sheets (that is, it consists of twosurfaces which are not connected to each other).4)T FThe surface 4x2− 4x + y2− 2y − 120 = −z2is an ellipsoid.5)T FThe parametrized lines ~u(t) = h1+2t, −2−5t, 1+ti and ~v(t) = h4−4t, −12+10t, 3 − 2ti are the same line.6)T FThe surface sin(x) = z contains lines which are parallel to the y-axis.7)T FIf ~u · ~v = 0, ~v · ~w = 0 and ~v is not the zero vector, then ~u · ~w = 0.8)T FThe curvature of a curve depends upon the speed at which one travels uponit.9)T FTwo lines in space that do not intersect must be parallel.10)T FThe intersection of the ellipsoid x2/3+y2/4+z2/3 = 1 with the plane y = 1is a circle.11)T FThe line ~r(t) = h1 + 2t, 1 + 2t, 1 − 4ti hits the plane x + y + z = 9 at a rightangle.12)T FA line in space can intersect an elliptic paraboloid in 4 points.13)T FThere is a quadric which is a hyperbola when int ersected with the planez = 0, which is a hyperbola when intersected with the plane y = 0 andwhich is a parabola when intersected with x = 0.14)T FThe vector ~u × (~v × ~w) is always in the same plane as ~v and ~w.15)T FIf ~u × ~v = 0 and ~u · ~v = 0, then one of the vectors ~u and ~v is zero.16)T FThe triple scalar product ~u·(~v× ~w) of three vectors ~u, ~v, ~w can be a negativenumber.17)T FIf the velocity vector ~r′(t) and the acceleration vector ~r′′(t) of a curve areparallel at time t = 1, then the curvature κ(t) of the curve is zero at timet = 1.18)T FIf the speed of a parametrized curve is constant over time, then the curvatureof the curve ~r(t) is zero.19)T FThe scalar projection of a vector ~v onto a vector ~w is always equal to thescalar projection of ~w onto ~v.20)T FThe velocity vector of a parametric curve ~r(t) always has length 1.Problem 2) (10 points)Match t he equation with their graphs. No justifications are needed.I IIIII IVEnter I,II,III,IV here Equationz = sin(5x) cos(2y)z = cos(y2)z = e−x2−y2z = exProblem 3) (10 points)Match t he equations with the surfaces.I II IIIIV V VIEnter I,II,III,IV,V,VI here Equationx2− y2− z2= 1x2+ 2y2= z22x2+ y2+ 2z2= 1x2− y2= 5x2− y2− z = 1x2+ y2− z = 1Problem 4) (10 points)a) (7 points) Find a parametric equation for the line which is the intersection of the two planes2x − y + 3z = 9 and x + 2y + 3z = −7.b) (3 points) Find a plane perpendicular to bo th planes and which passes through the pointP = (1, 1, 1).Problem 5) (10 points)Given the vectors ~v = h1, 1 , 0i and ~w = h0, 0, 1i a nd the point P = (2 , 4, −2). Let Σ be theplane which goes through the origin which contains the vectors ~v and ~w. Let S be the unitsphere x2+ y2+ z2= 1.a) (6 points) Compute the distance f r om P to the plane Σ.b) (4 points) Find the shortest distance from P to the sphere S.Hint for b): Find first the distance from P to the origin O = (0, 0, 0).Problem 6) (10 points)a) (6 points) Find an equation for the plane through the points A = ( 0 , 1, 0), B = ( 1 , 2, 1) andC = (2, 4, 5).b) (4 points) Given a n additional point P = (−1, 2, 3), what is the volume of the tetrahedronwhich has A, B, C, P among its vertices.A useful fact which you can use without justification in b): the volume of the tetrahe-dron is 1/6 of the volume of the parallelepiped which has AB, AC, and AP among its edges.Problem 7) (10 points)The parametrized curve ~u(t) =< t, t2, t3> (known as the ”twisted cubic”) intersects theparametrized line ~v(s) = h1 + 3s, 1 − s, 1 + 2si at a point P . Find the angle of intersection.Problem 8) (10 points)Let ~r(t) be the space curve ~r(t) = (log(t), 2t, t2), where log(t) is the na tura l logarithm (denotedby ln(t) in some textbooks).a) What is the velocity and what is the acceleration at time t = 1?b) Find the length of the curve from t = 1 to t = 2.Hint: you should end up with a final integral which does not involve any square roots andwhich you can solve.Problem 9) (10 points)A planar mirror in space contains the point P = (4, 1, 5) and is perpendicular to the vector~n = h1, 2, −3i. The light ray~QP = ~v = h −3, 1, −2i with source Q = (7, 0, 7) hits the mirrorplane at the point P .a) (4 points) Compute the projection ~u =~Proj~n(~v) of ~v onto ~n.b) (6 points) Identify ~u in the figure and use it to find a vector parallel to the reflected
