#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: Albert Einstein, Isaac #Newton, Archimedes # B. WHAT BRANCH OF AI USES Multivariable calculs?: Deep Learning # 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) #First: we must find the distance from P and Q and using the distance formula we find that #sqrt((1 - 0)^2 + (0 - 1)^2 + (0 - 0)^2); # (1/2) # 2 #Distance between P and R: sqrt((1-0)^2+(0-0)^2+(0-1)^2); # (1/2) # 2 #Distance between Q and R: sqrt((0-0)^2+(1-0)^2+(0-1)^2; # (1/2) # 2 #As we can see the distance from all vertices to one another is 2^(1/2) or the sqrt(2) so #the vertices form 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) #First: we look at the direction vectors of both lines #the first line being <1,2,3> and the second line being <2,1,3> #The direction vectors are not scalars of one another so they are not parallel and #neither are the lines #Second: the lines would intersect if there is a pair say x,y where r1 of x = r2 of y #First component: 1+x = 0+2y #Second component: 0+2x = 1+1y #Third Component: 0+3x = 0+3y #using the 2nd and 3rd component in a system of equations: #Solving for x in the 2nd component, x = (1+1y)/2 #Plug this x into the 3rd component, (3+3y)/2 = 3y #Multiply 2 on both sides, (3+3y) = 6y #Solve for y so y=1 #Plug this y into the x we solved for from the second component so x = 1 #Finally plug both values into the first component to verify the x component so we get #1+1 = 0+2(1) = 2=2 #Thus we have determined that these lines intersect at (2,2,3) found by plugging in one #x and y values
