.The smmetric equations of line are given b (x x )/a = ( )/b = (z z )/c, where (x,, z ) is a point on the line and a, b, c is a direction vector. Since L is perpendicular to the plane x + 3 z = 9, then we can take the normal to the plane as the direction vector, this is,, 3, is a direction vector of L. Therefore, the smmetric equations are x = + 5 = z 3..Note r (t) = ( 3e 3t, cos t + π ), t r (t) =,, t To compute the angle of intersection we find r () = 3,, r () =,, so that cos θ = r () r () r () r () = 3 3 5 =. 5 3.

Hence i j k = 3, ( ), 3 = 3,, 3 3 The area of the parallelogram is 3,, 3 = 9 + + 9 = 3 and the area of the triangle is half this. 8
7.The level curves are given b f(x, ) = we get x x + = c x + cx. = c where c is a constant. Solving for So each level curve for c has a vertical asmptote at x =. Of the five given curves, that onl leaves (a) and (d) as the possible correct answers. Also notice that for each x, there is onl one corresponding value of i.e. is a well defined function of x. So each level curve must pass the vertical test. But clearl there are curves in (a) which fail this. Hence the correct answer is (d). 8. r (t) = t, t, 3. So the distance travelled is given b 3 3 3 L(, 3) = r (t) dt = t + t + 9 dt = (t + 3) dt = 7. For the penultimate equalit, notice that t + t + 9 = (t + 3). 9.Completing squares x +8x = (x+) 6, + = (+), z z = (z 5) 5. So x 8x + + + z z + 3 = (x + ) + ( + ) + (z 5) 6 5 + 3 = (x + ) + ( + ) + (z 5) = So radius is = 3..(a) is alwas zero since a b = (b a) and cross product of parallel vectors is zero. (b) is zero if and onl if a b =. So (b) can be non zero. (c) is alwas zero since a b is perpendicular to both a and b and hence perpendicular to a + b. (d) is alwas zero since a a = for an vector a. (e) is alwas zero since a is perpendicular to b a..at t =, r() =,,, r () =,,, r () =,,. The normal vector to the normal plane is given b the velocit vector. So equation of the normal plane is x + =. The osculating plane at t is a plane containing r (t) and r (t). osculating plane at t = is given b i j k r () r () = =, 8, The equation to the osculating plane is thus x 8 =. So a normal to the 9
.The are not parallel, since,, is not a multiple of, 3, 3. If the intersect, then one can find a t and s such that 3 + t = 7 + s + t = 5 + 3s + t = 6 + 3s Solving the first two equations we get s =, t =. This clearl satisfies the third equation also. So the lines do intersect. To get the point of intersection we plug in t = in the equation of the first line (or equivalentl s = in the equation of the second line). Doing so we obtain the point of intersection as (5,, ). 3.Let v(t) =,, 3. Then the vector equation for the tangent line to C at P is given b tv() +,, = t, t, 3t +,, = t, t, 3t +. Then the parametric equation for the tangent line to C at P is given b x(t) = t, (t) = t, z(t) = 3t +.
