#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: # B. WHAT BRANCH OF AI USES Multivariable calculs?: # C. WHAT IS THE "DISTANCE" IN SPECIAL RELATIVITY?: ##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) #P:=[1,0,0] #Q:=[0,1,0] #R:=[0,0,1] #Dist(P,Q); =sqrt(2) #Dist(P,R); =sqrt(2) #Dist(Q,R); =sqrt(2) #{Dist(P,Q),Dist(P,R),Dist(Q,R)}; =sqrt(2) #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]=[1,0,0]+[t,2t,3t]=[1+t,2t,3t] #r2(s)=[0,1,0]+s*[2,1,3]=[0,1,0]+[2s,s,3s]=[2s,1+s,3s] # Must get r1(t)=r2(s) #1+t=2s, 2t=1+s, 3t=3s #3t=3s -> s=t -> t=1 also s=1 #r1(1)=[1+1,2*1,3*1]=[2,2,3] #r2(1)=[2*1,1+1,3*1]=[2,2,3] #The lines meet at (2,2,3)
