First Test
This pleasant 50 minute test covers sections 12:1—6 of Calculus by Stewart (5ed). Relax
and do well. Unless otherwise stated, problems are five points. Indicate your answers.
1.
Let A, B and C be vectors and let k be a scalar. Circle either T for always true or F
for at least once false.
(1 point each)
T F A × A = 1 if A is a unit vector
T F
If A and B are perpendicular, then projAB = 0.
T F
If A and B are parallel, then A • B = 0.
T F
If A is a unit vector, then so is −A.
T F
A × B + B × A = 0.
T F
kA • B = kB • A
T F
A • (B × C) = A × (B • C)
T F
The cross product B × A of the two vectors
A
B
on the right is pointing out of the page.
T F
The cross product of two unit vectors is a unit vector.
2.

(−2,3,1).
3.

c) The line of intersection of the planes x + 2y – z = 2 and 2x – y + 3z = 1.
10. Find the distance from the point (0, 0, 0) to the plane x – 2y – 2z = 1.
11. Find the equation of the plane through the point (1,2,3) and containing the line:
x = 2 + 3t, y = 5 – 3t,
z = t.
12. Determine if the following lines are the same line, parallel, skew, or intersecting lines.
