MATH132 - S1, 2013 Mathematics IA (Advanced) : Week 13 Tutorial Exercises

This document contains 9 math problems involving vectors, planes, lines, and differential equations in 3D space and 1D. Specifically, it asks the reader to: 1) Find a unit vector perpendicular to a plane defined by 3 points. 2) Analyze properties of vectors and planes defined by other points, including perpendicularity and parallelism. 3) Find the intersection between a line and planes, and between planes. 4) Solve several differential equations, including sketching multiple solutions on the same axes.

Week 13 tutorial exercises

1. Find a unit vector perpendicular to the plane determined by the points A(0, 2, 1), B (1, 1, 2) and
C (1, 1, 0). (Unit vector means that its norm is one.)
2. Consider the points A(a, 1, 1), B (1, 2, 3) and C (1, 2, 3) in R3 .

a) Find the dot product AB AC in terms of a. Find all the values of a so that the two vectors AB

and AC are perpendicular.



b) Find the coordinates of the cross product AB AC in terms of a. Then find the values of a (if

any) for which the vector AB AC is parallel to (3, 0, 1).

and 3x + 3y 6z = 5. (Its normal will be the cross product of the normals of the two given planes.)
