Problem 8
What kind of surface is described by the parametrization
~r(u, v) = hu cos v, u sin v, u2 i,


0 u 1, 0 v 2?

A) Ellipsoid
B) Paraboloid
C) Plane
D) Cone


E) Hyperboloid of one sheet
F) Hyperboloid of two sheets
H) Cylinder

G) Hemisphere

One way to solve this is to observe that z = x2 + y 2 , where x = u cos v, y = u sin v, and
z = u2 . The equation z = x2 + y 2 is that of a paraboloid.
Alternatively, we can look at the grid lines obtained keeping either u or v constant. If u is
constant we get circles, while if v is constant the grid lines are parabolas.

Problem 11
Which of the following statements are true?
I) The vectors h1, 3, 4i and h1, 3, 4i are orthogonal.
II) The vector h1, 0, 5i is longer than the vector h3, 3, 1i.
III) The cross product of h1, 0, 1i and h2, 3, 3i is parallel to h3, 1, 3i.
A) None of them
B) Only I)
E) I) and II)
F) I) and III)

C)

Only II)  D) Only III)

G) II) and III)
H) All of them

I) The dot product of the two vectors is nonzero, which implies that they are not
orthogonal.

II) |h1, 0, 5i| = 26 and |h3, 3, 1i| = 19, so this statement is correct.
III) h1, 0, 1i h2, 3, 3i = h3, 1, 3i, so they are indeed parallel.

Problem 12
Find the curvature of the curve




~r(t) = sin t ~i + cos t ~j,

2 t 2 ,

at the unique point where the tangent to the curve is parallel to the x-axis.


A) 0

B) 1




C) 2

D) 3

E) 4

F) 5

G) 6

H) 7

The short answer is that the curve is a circle of radius 1, and therefore has constant
curvature 1.
If we do not make that observation, we can carry out the following calculations. We first
find the tangent vector r~0 and the unit tangent vector T~ to the curve,
r~0 (t) = hcos t, sin ti,
p
|r~0 (t)| = (cos t)2 + ( sin t)2 = 1,
r~0 (t)
= r~0 (t) = hcos t, sin ti.
T~ (t) =
|r~0 (t)|
The tangent r~0 (t) is parallel to the x-axis when its y-component is zero. That is, when
sin t = 0, which implies t = 0. To find the curvature at t = 0, we also calculate
p
T~ 0 (t) = h sin t, cos ti,
|T~ 0 (t)| = ( sin t)2 + ( cos t)2 = 1.
Thus, the curvature is
(0) =

|T~ 0 (0)|
= 1.
|r~0 (0)|
