Practice Exam for Math 241Instructions: Calculators, books, notes, and suchlike aids to gracious living are not permitted. Showall your work as credit will not be given for correct answers without proper justification, except forProblems 2 and 6.Note: Problem 6(b) and the very last part of 6(a) are based on material from Friday’s lecture, so youwon’t be able to do those yet.1. Consider the points A = (0, 0, 2), B = (1, 0, 3), and C = (0, 1, 3) in R3.(a) Compute the vectors v =------------------------------→AB and w =------------------------------------→AC. (2 points)(b) Find a normal vector n to the plane P containing the points A, B, C. (3 points)(c) Find the area of the triangle spanned by A, B, C. (2 points)(d) Find an equation which describes P. If you can’t do (b), take n = (1, −2, −1). (1 point)(e) Consider the line L given by the parameterization r(t) =2 + 2t, 3, −1 + 2t. Is L parallel tothe plane P? Why or why not? (2 points)2. Match the following functions with their graphs and level set diagrams. Here each level setdiagram consists of level sets {f (x) = ci} drawn for evenly spaced ci.
