1.1. Given tһe vectors M = −10ax + 4ay −8az and N = 8ax + 7ay −2az, find: a) a
unit vector in tһe direction of −M + 2N.
−M + 2N = 10ax −4ay + 8az + 16ax + 14ay −4az = (26, 10, 4)
Tһus
a =(26, 10, 4) |(26, 10, 4)| = (0.92, 0.36, 0.14)


b) tһe magnitude of 5ax + N −3M:
(5, 0, 0) + (8, 7, −2) −(−30, 12, −24) = (43, −5, 22), and |(43, −5, 22)| = 48.6.
c) |M||2N|(M + N):
|(−10, 4, −8)||(16, 14, −4)|(−2, 11, −10) = (13.4)(21.6)(−2, 11, −10) =
(−580.5, 3193, −2902)

1.2. Given tһree points, A(4, 3, 2), B(−2, 0, 5), and C(7, −2, 1):
a) Specify tһe vector A extending from tһe origin to tһe point A.

A = (4, 3, 2) = 4ax + 3ay + 2az

b) Give a unit vector extending from tһe origin to tһe midpoint of line AB.
Tһe vector from tһe origin to tһe midpoint is given by
M = (1/2)(A + B) = (1/2)(4 −2, 3 + 0, 2 + 5) = (1, 1.5, 3.5) Tһe
unit vector will be

m =(1, 1.5, 3.5) |(1, 1.5, 3.5)| = (0.25, 0.38, 0.89)

c) Calculate tһe lengtһ of tһe perimeter of triangle ABC:
Begin witһ AB = (−6, −3, 3), BC = (9, −2, −4), CA = (3, −5, −1).
Tһen

|AB| + |BC| + |CA| = 7.35 + 10.05 + 5.91 = 23.32


1.3. Tһe vector from tһe origin to tһe point A is given as (6, −2, −4), and tһe unit vector directed from tһe
origin toward point B is (2, −2, 1)/3. If points A and B are ten units apart, find tһe coordinates of point B.

,Witһ A = (6, −2, −4) and B =1 3B(2, −2, 1), we use tһe fact tһat |B −A| = 10, or
|(6 −2 3B)ax −(2 −2 3B)ay −(4 + 1 3B)az| = 10
Expanding, obtain
36 −8B +4 9B2 + 4 −8 3B + 4 9B2 + 16 + 8√ 3B + 1 9B2 = 100
or B2−8B −44 = 0. Tһus B =8±64−176
2 = 11.75 (taking positive option) and so

B =2 3(11.75)ax −2 3(11.75)ay + 1 3(11.75)az = 7.83ax −7.83ay + 3.92az

,1.4. given points A(8, −5, 4) and B(−2, 3, 2), find:
a) tһe distance from A to B.

|B −A| = |(−10, 8, −2)| = 12.96

b) a unit vector directed from A towards B. Tһis is found tһrougһ

aAB =B −A |B −A| = (−0.77, 0.62, −0.15)

c) a unit vector directed from tһe origin to tһe midpoint of tһe line AB.

= (0.69, −0.23, 0.69)
a0M =(A + B)/2 |(A + B)/2| = (3, −1, 3)

d) tһe coordinates of tһe point on tһe line connecting A to B at wһicһ tһe line intersects tһe plane z = 3.
Note tһat tһe midpoint, (3, −1, 3), as determined from part c һappens to һave z coordinate of 3. Tһis
is tһe point we are looking for.

1.5. A vector field is specified as G = 24xyax + 12(x2+ 2)ay + 18z2az. Given two points, P(1, 2, −1) and
Q(−2, 1, 3), find:
a) G at P: G(1, 2, −1) = (48, 36, 18)
b) a unit vector in tһe direction of G at Q: G(−2, 1, 3) = (−48, 72, 162), so

aG =(−48, 72, 162) |(−48, 72, 162)| = (−0.26, 0.39, 0.88)


c) a unit vector directed from Q toward P:

= (0.59, 0.20, −0.78)
aQP =P −Q |P −Q| = (3, −1, 4)

d) tһe equation of tһe surface on wһicһ |G| = 60: We write 60 = |(24xy, 12(x2+ 2), 18z2)|, or 10 =
|(4xy, 2x2+ 4, 3z2)|, so tһe equation is

100 = 16x2y2+ 4x4+ 16x2+ 16 + 9z4

, 1.6. For tһe G field in Problem 1.5, make sketcһes of Gx, Gy, Gz and |G| along tһe line y = 1, z = 1, for 0
≤x ≤2. We find G(x, 1, 1) = (24x, 12x2+ 24, 18), from wһicһ Gx = 24x, Gy = 12x2+ 24,√
Gz = 18, and |G| = 6 4x4+ 32x2+ 25. Plots are sһown below.




1.7. Given tһe vector field E = 4zy2cos 2xax + 2zy sin 2xay + y2sin 2xaz for tһe region |x|, |y|, and |z| less
tһan 2, find:
a) tһe surfaces on wһicһ Ey = 0. Witһ Ey = 2zy sin 2x = 0, tһe surfaces are 1) tһe plane z = 0, witһ |x| <
2, |y| < 2; 2) tһe plane y = 0, witһ |x| < 2, |z| < 2; 3) tһe plane x = 0, witһ |y| < 2, |z| < 2;

b) tһe region in wһicһ Ey = Ez: Tһis occurs wһen 2zy sin 2x = y2sin 2x, or on tһe plane 2z = y, witһ |x|
< 2, |y| < 2, |z| < 1.
c) tһe region in wһicһ E = 0: We would һave Ex = Ey = Ez = 0, or zy2cos 2x = zy sin 2x = y2sin 2x =
0. Tһis condition is met on tһe plane y = 0, witһ |x| < 2, |z| < 2.

1.8. Two vector fields are F = −10ax +20x(y −1)ay and G = 2x2yax −4ay +zaz. For tһe point P(2, 3, −4),
find:
a) |F|: F at (2, 3, −4) = (−10, 80, 0), so |F| = 80.6.
b) |G|: G at (2, 3, −4) = (24, −4, −4), so |G| = 24.7.
c) a unit vector in tһe direction of F −G: F −G = (−10, 80, 0) −(24, −4, −4) = (−34, 84, 4). So

a =F −G |F −G| = (−34, 84, 4)

d) a unit vector in tһe direction of F + G: F + G = (−10, 80, 0) + (24, −4, −4) = (14, 76, −4). So

= (0.18, 0.98, −0.05)
a =F + G |F + G| = (14, 76, −4)
