General Instructions: All solutions must be handwritten. The format of the Problem Set is
presented in the last part of this file.

I. VECTORS. Answer the problems manually.


1. Given vectors ⃗𝑽 = 𝟒𝒊̂ − 𝟑𝒋̂ + 𝟑𝒌

l. direction cosines of vector 𝑼⃗⃗
m. direction angles of vector 𝑼
⃗⃗
n. Angle between 𝑉 ⃗ and 𝑈⃗

2. Given the following vectors, solve for,


⃗𝑽 = 𝟔𝒊̂ + 𝟐𝒋̂ − 𝟒𝒌 ̂
⃗⃗ = −𝟑𝒊̂ + 𝟓𝒋̂ + 𝟐𝒌
𝑼 ̂
⃗𝑾 ̂
⃗⃗⃗ = 𝟑𝒊̂ − 𝒋̂ − 𝟑𝒌
a. 3𝑈

b. 2𝑉
⃗ + 3𝑈 ⃗ + 4𝑊⃗⃗⃗
c. 3𝑉 − 𝑈
⃗ ⃗
d. 2𝑉
⃗ ∙ 3𝑈 ⃗
e. 4𝑊
⃗⃗⃗ ∙ (2𝑉 ⃗ 𝑥𝑈
⃗)
f. (3𝑉⃗ 𝑥𝑊⃗⃗⃗ ) ∙ 𝑈
⃗
g. Angle between 𝑉 ⃗ and 𝑈
⃗
h. Angle between 𝑉 and 𝑊⃗ ⃗⃗⃗

3. Determine if the two vectors are parallel, orthogonal (perpendicular) or neither,


Hint: For orthogonal vectors, the dot product must be equal to zero. Meanwhile, two
vectors are parallel when the angle between them is either 0° (the vectors point in
the same direction) or 180° (the vectors point in opposite directions).
a. ⃗𝑽 = 𝟒𝒊̂ − 𝟐𝒋̂ + 𝟕𝒌̂ and ⃗𝑼 ̂
⃗ = −𝟑𝒊̂ + 𝒋̂ − 𝟐𝒌
b. 𝑽⃗ = 𝟑𝒊̂ + 𝒋̂ and 𝑼⃗⃗ = 𝟒𝒊̂ − 𝒋̂
c. 𝑽 = 𝒊̂ + 𝟒𝒋̂ − 𝟐𝒌 and ⃗𝑼
⃗ ̂ ⃗ = −𝟑𝒊̂ − 𝟏𝟐𝒋̂ + 𝟔𝒌 ̂
d. 𝑽⃗ = 𝟒𝒊̂ − 𝟐𝒋̂ + 𝟑𝒌̂ and 𝑼 ̂
