Question 1 Match the statements in a meaningful way.

Not answered
The volume
Points out of 1.00
of a
parallelpiped
formed by
Choose...
three vectors
is the
absolute
value of

The dot
product of
Choose...
two vectors
is 0 if

The cross
product of
Choose...
two vectors
is 0 if

The area of a
paralelogram
formed by
Choose...
two vectors
is the length
of

Your answer is incorrect.

The correct answer is: The volume of a parallelpiped formed by three vectors is
the absolute value of → the 3-by-3 determinant obtained from the entries of the
vectors., The dot product of two vectors is 0 if → the vectors are perpendicular.,
The cross product of two vectors is 0 if → the vectors are parallel., The area of a
paralelogram formed by two vectors is the length of → the cross product of the
vectors.

Question 2 Match the statements.
Not answered

Points out of 1.00 Two distinct points in 3-space determine Choose...

The set of all points in 3-space equidistant from a xed

Choose...
point determine

Three distinct points in 3-space which are not on a line

Choose...
determine

Your answer is incorrect.

The correct answer is: Two distinct points in 3-space determine → a unique line.,
The set of all points in 3-space equidistant from a xed point determine → a
sphere., Three distinct points in 3-space which are not on a line determine → a
unique plane.

Question 4 Which one(s) describe a line in 3-space?
Not answered
Select one or more:
Points out of 1.00
a. (a, b, c) + tv where v and (a, b, c) are vectors

b. x + y = 1

c. x + y = 1 and y + z = 0

d. (a, b, c) + tv = 0 where v and (a, b, c) are vectors

Your answer is incorrect.

The correct answers are: x + y = 1 and y + z = 0

, (a, b, c) + tv where v and (a, b, c) are vectors

Question 5 Which one(s) describe one or more lines in 3-space?

Not answered
Select one or more:
Points out of 1.00
a. x + y = 1 and y + z = 0 and x + z = 2

b. x + y = 1 and y + z = 0

c. x2 + y
2
= 1 and y = 1/2

d. x + y = 1

Your answer is incorrect.

The correct answers are: x + y = 1 and y + z = 0

, x2 + y 2 = 1 and y = 1/2

Question 6 A normal vector ai + bj + ck for the plane containing the points

Not answered (1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2), (3, 3, 3) satis es

Points out of 1.00

Select one or more:
a. a − b + c = 0

b. a2 + b + c = 0

c. a + b + c = 0

Your answer is incorrect.

(1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2), (3, 3, 3) are on a line parallel to the vector i + j + k
hence
(i + j + k) ⋅ (ai + bj + ck) = a + b + c = 0

The correct answer is: a + b + c = 0

Select one or more:
Points out of 1.00
a. z − 1 = 0

b. x − 1 = 0

c. x2 + y

− z + x − 1 = 0

,z−1 = 0

Question 8 The plane passing through (1, 2, 3) parallel to the plane

Not answered 3x + y − 2z = 15, has equation
Points out of 1.00

TIP: Write your answer in the form 3x+y-2z=15. Do NOT leave any spaces.

Answer:

The correct answer is: 3x+y-2z=-1
