#ATTENDANCE QUIZ for Lecture 1 of Math251(Dr. Z.) #EMAIL RIGHT AFTER CLASS (OR RIGHT AFTER YOU WATCHED THE VIDEO) THE EDITED VERSION OF #THIS .txt FILE (WITH YOUR ANSWERS) #TO: #DrZcalc3@gmail.com #Subject: q1 #with an ATTACHMENT CALLED: #q1FirstLast.txt #(e.g. q1DoronZeilberger.txt) #ANSWERS TO RANDOM FACTS IN THE LECTURE # A. ACCORDING TO Dr. Z. THE TOP THREE SCIENTISTS OF ALL TIME ARE: # Archimedes, Newton, Einstein # B. WHAT BRANCH OF AI USES Multivariable calculs?: # Deep learning and neural nets # C. WHAT IS THE "DISTANCE" IN SPECIAL RELATIVITY?: # sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 + (z2-z1)^2 - c^2*(t2-t1)^2) ##THE ACTUAL QUIZ: #1. Show that the triangle with vertices #P=[1,0,0], Q=[0,1,0], R=[0,0,1] is an equilateral triangle. #YOUR SOLUTION HERE (EXPLAIN ALL THE STEPS) # distance PQ = sqrt((1-0)^2 + (0-1)^2 + (0-0)^2) = sqrt(1+1+0) = sqrt(2) # distance PR = sqrt((1-0)^2 + (0-0)^2 + (0-1)^2) = sqrt(1+0+1) = sqrt(2) # distance QR = sqrt((0-0)^2 + (1-0)^2 + (1-0)^2) = sqrt(0+1+1) = sqrt(2) # all three sides have length sqrt(2) therefore it's equilateral #2. Determine whether the following two lines ever meet. #If they do meet, where? #r1(t)=[1,0,0]+ t*[1,2,3] #r2(t)=[0,1,0]+ t*[2,1,3] #YOUR SOLUTION HERE(EXPLAIN ALL THE STEPS) # r1(t) = [t+1, 2t, 3t] # r2(t) = [2t, t+1, 3t] # eq := {2t=t+1, 3t=3t, t+1=2t} # solve(eq, t) # results in t=1 #The lines meet at t=1
