(c) We have x1 = 2 and x2 = π, so we get t12= 1 ( 2 + π) and t22 = 1 ( 2 – π).
D2 (a) P˜Q + Q˜R + R˜P can be described informally as “start at P and move to Q, then move from
R, then from R to P; the net result is a zero change in position.”
(b) We have P˜Q = ˜q – ˜p, Q˜R = ˜r – ˜q, and R˜P = ˜p – ˜r. Thus,

P˜Q + Q˜R + R˜P = ˜q – ˜p +˜r – ˜q + ˜p – ˜r = ˜0

D3 Assu m e that ˜x = ˜p + td˜, t e R, is a line in R2 passing through the origin. Then, there exists a real nu
