Find a unit vector u in the direction of the vector from P1(1, 0, 1) to P2(3, 2, 0).
2/3i+2/3j-1/3k
find the angle between u = i - 2j - 2k and v = 6i + 3j + 2k.
arccos(-4/21)
Find u X v and v X u if u = 2i + j + k and v = -4i + 3j + k.
u X v =-2i - 6j + 10k
v X u = -(u X v) = 2i + 6j - 10k
find the point in which the line meets the plane.
x=1-t, y=3t, z=1+t; 2x-y+3z=6
(3/2, -3/2 , 1/2) is the point
Rectangle Find the measures of the angles between the diago- nals of the rectangle whose vertices are A = (1, 0), B = (0, 3), C = (3,4), and D = (4,1).
AC⋅BD=2(4)+4(−2)=0
so the angle measures are all 90
