#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: N/A # B. WHAT BRANCH OF AI USES Multivariable calculus?: N/A # C. WHAT IS THE "DISTANCE" IN SPECIAL RELATIVITY?: N/A ##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(P,Q) := sqrt(Q[1]-P[1]^2 + Q[2]-P[2]^2 + Q[3]-P[3]^2) = sqrt(1) #Dist(P,R) := sqrt(R[1]-P[1]^2 + R[2]-P[2]^2 + R[3]-P[3]^2) = sqrt(1) #Dist(Q,R) := sqrt(R[1]-Q[1]^2 + R[2]-Q[2]^2 + R[3]-Q[3]^2) = sqrt(1) #{Dist(P,Q); Dist(P,R); Dist(Q,R)} = {sqrt(1)} #Using the distance formula between different variations of pairs of the three points, #it is clear that all of the points are equidistant, creating an 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) #L1(t):= [1,0,0]+ t*([1,0,0]-[1,2,3]); # L1(t):= [1+t,-2t,-3t]; #L2(s)=[0,1,0]+ s*([0,1,0]-[2,1,3]); # L2(s)= [-2s,1+s,-3s]; #eq := (L1[1]:=L2[1], L1[2]:=L2[2], L1[3]:=L2[3]); #eq := (1+t:=-2s, -2t:=1, -3t:=-3s); #eq := (2=2, 2:=2, 3:=3); # I used the equation PQ=(Q-P) * t; # Letting t=0 and s=0 shows that the two lines meet at point [2,2,3]
