1. (a) Find parametric equations and symmetric equations for the line through
(2, 1, 0) and perpendicular to both i + j and j + k.
(b) Determine whether the lines L1 and L2 are parallel, skew, or intersecting.
If they intersect, find the point of intersection.

(c) Is the line through (4, −6, 1) and (−2, 0, −3) parallel to the line through
(10, 18, 4) and (5, 3, 14)?
(d) Is the line through (−2, 4, 0) and (1, 1, 1) perpendicular to the line through
(2, 3, 4) and (3, −1, −8)?
2. (a) Find an equation of the plane through the points (3, 0, −1), (−2, −2, 3),
and (7, 1, −4).
(b) Use intercepts to help sketch the plane 6x + 3y − 5z = 15.
(c) The plane that passes through the point (3, 1, 4) and contains the line of
intersection of the planes x + 2y + 3z = 1 and 2x − y + z = −3
(d) The plane that passes through the point (1, 5, 1) and is perpendicular to
the planes 2x + y − 2z = 2 and x + 3z = 4.
3. (a) Find the vertex, focus, and directrix of the parabola and sketch its graph
(y + 1)2 = 16(x − 3).
(b) Find the vertices, foci, and asymptotes of the hyperbola and sketch its
graph 9y 2 − 4x2 − 36y − 8x = 4
(c) Identify the type of conic section whose equation is y 2 − 2 = x2 − 2x and
find the vertices and foci.
(d) Reduce the equation: 17x2 + 18xy − 7y 2 − 16x − 32y − 18 = 0; to one of the
standard forms, where the origin is transferred to (1, −1). Then, classify
the surface, and sketch it.
4. Use traces to sketch and identify the surface.
(a) x = y 2 + 4z 2 (d) 9y 2 + 4z 2 = x2 + 36
(b) x2 = 4y 2 + z 2 (e) 3x2 − y 2 + 3z 2 = 0
(c) z 2 − 4x2 − y 2 = 4 (f) x = y 2 − z 2
