7/8/2010 FIRST HOURLY Maths 21a, O.Knill, Summer 2010Name:• Start by writing your name in the above box.• Try to answer each questi on on the same page as the question is asked. If need ed , usethe back or the next empty page for work. If you need additional paper, write your nameon it.• Do not detach pages from this exam packet or unstaple the packet.• Please write neatly. Answers which are illegible for the grader can not be given credit.• No notes, books, calculators, computers, or other electronic aids can be allowed.• You have exactly 90 minutes t o compl et e your work.1 202 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 10Total: 1001Problem 1) ( 20 po ints) No justifications are needed.1)T FThe len gt h of the vector h1, 1, 1i is equal to 3.2)T FAny two distinct points A, B in space determine a unique line which containsthese two points.3)T FFor any two non-intersecting lines L, K, there is exactly one point P whichhas equ a l distance to both lines.4)T FThe graph of f(x, y) is a surface in space which is equal to the le vel surfaceg(x, y, z) = 0 of g(x, y, z) = f(x, y) − z.5)T FThe graph of the functio n f(x, y) = x2−y2is called an elliptic paraboloid.6)T FThe equ at i on ρ cos(θ) = 1 in spherical coordi n a t es defines a plane.7)T FThe vector h1, 2, 3i i s perpendicular to the plane x + 2y + 3z = 4.8)T FThe cros s product between the vectors h1, 2, 3i and h1, 1, 1i is 6.9)T FThe two parametrized curves ~r(t) = ht, t2, t6i, 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 and~R(t) =ht2, t4, t6i, 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 have the same arc length.10)T FThe point ( 1, 0, 1) has the spherical coordinates (ρ, θ, φ) = (√2, 0, π/4).11)T FThe distance between two parallel p l a n es is the distan ce of any point on oneplane to th e other plane.12)T FProj~w(~v × ~w) =~0 holds for all nonzero vectors ~v, ~w.13)T FThe vector projection of h2, 3, 4i onto h1, 0, 0i is h2, 0, 0i.14)T FThe triple scalar product ~u ·(~v × ~w) between three vectors ~u,~v, ~w is zero i fand on l y if two or more of the 3 vectors are parallel.15)T FThere are two vectors ~v and ~w so that the dot product ~v · ~w is equal to thelength of th e cross produ ct |~v × ~w|.16)T FTwo cylinders of radius 1 whose axes are lines L, K have dist a n ce d(L, K) =3 have distance 2.17)T FThere are two unit vectors ~v and ~w tha t are both par al l el and perpendicular.18)T FAssuming the curvature to exi st for all time, the curvature κ(~r(t)) is alwayssmaller than or equ al to |~r′′(t)|/|~r′|2.19)T FThe cur ve ~r(t) = hcos(t) sin(t), sin(t) sin(t), sin(t)i is located on a sphere.20)T FThe sur fa ce x2+ y2+ z2= 4z − 3 is a sphere of radius 1.Total2Problem 2) ( 10 po ints) No justifications are needed in this problem.a) (2 points) Match the graphs of the functions f(x, y).
