#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) Dist:=sqrt ((x2-x1)^2+ (y2-y1)^2+ (z2-z1)^2- c^2*(t2-t1)^2); (the equation that calculate the distance between two points) P:=[1,0,0] ; Q:=[0,1,0] ; R:=[0,0,1] Dist (P,Q) :=sqrt(2) (distance between point P and Q) Dist (P,R) :=sqrt(2) (distance between point P and R) Dist (Q,R):=sqrt(2) (distance between point Q and R) Dist (P,Q) = Dist (P,R) = Dist (R,Q) = sqrt(2) (the distance between each two points are equal to sqrt(2), which satisfied the poverty of equilateral triangle) #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)=[1,0,0]+ t*[1,2,3]=[1+t,2,3] r2(t)=[0,1,0]+ t*[2,1,3]=[2,1+t,3] when two lines meet, r1(t) should equal to r2(t) [x(r1(t)),t(r1(t)),z(r1(t))]=[x(r2(t)),t(r2(t)),z(r2(t))] therefore we get 1+t=2 and 2=1+t which is the same. Then solve for 1+t=2, we get t=1 So when t=1, r1(t) and r2(t) will meet at [2,2,3]
