Given a point and a vector v in R 3, the line b parallel to v is the set of terminal points of the vectors O r 0 V line r(t) r(t) = r 0 + t v, t R, where r 0 = O. We refer to a line to mean both the set of vectors r(t) and the set of terminal points of these vectors. Vector equation of a line. Find the vector equation of the line b the point = (, 2, ) tangent to the vector v =, 2, 3. Solution: The vector r 0 = O =, 2,, therefore, the formula r(t) = r 0 + t v implies r(t) =, 2, + t, 2, 3.

5 Lines and planes in space (Sect. 2.5) Lines in space Review: Lines on a plane. The equations of lines in space: Vector equation. arametric equation. Distance from a point to a line. arametric equation of a line. Definition The parametric equations of a line b = ( 0, 0, 0 ) tangent to v = v, v, v are given b (t) = 0 + t v, (t) = 0 + t v, (t) = 0 + t v. Remark: It is simple to obtain the parametric equations form the vector equation, and vice-versa, noticing the relation r(t) = r 0 + t v (t), (t), (t) = 0, 0, 0 + t v, v, v = ( 0 + t v ), ( 0 + t v ), ( 0 + t v ).

6 arametric equation of a line. Find the parametric equations of the line with vector equation r(t) =, 2, + t, 2, 3. Solution: Rewrite the vector equation in vector components, (t), (t), (t) = ( + t), ( 2 + 2t), ( + 3t). We conclude that (t) = + t, (t) = 2 + 2t, (t) = + 3t. arametric equation of a line. Find both the vector equation and the parametric equation of the line containing the points = (, 2, 3) and Q = (3, 2, ). Solution: A vector tangent to the line is v = Q, which is given b v = (3 ), ( 2 2), ( + 3) v = 2, 4, 4. We can use either or Q to epress the vector equation for the line. If we use, then the vector equation of the line is r(t) =, 2, 3 + t 2, 4, 4. If we choose Q, the vector equation of the line is r(s) = 3, 2, + s 2, 4, 4. We use s to do not confuse it with the t above.

7 arametric equation of a line. Find both the vector equation and the parametric equation of the line containing the points = (, 2, 3) and Q = (3, 2, ). Solution: The parametric equation of the line is simple to obtain once the vector equation is known. Since r(t) =, 2, 3 + t 2, 4, 4, then (t), (t), (t) = ( + 2t), (2 4t), ( 3 + 4t). Then, the parametric equations of the line are given b (t) = + 2t, (t) = 2 4t, (t) = 3 + 4t. arallel lines, perpendicular lines, intersections Definition The lines r(t) = r 0 + t v and ˆr(t) = ˆr 0 + t ˆv are parallel iff their tangent vectors v and ˆv are parallel; the are perpendicular iff v and ˆv are perpendicular; and the lines intersect iff the have a common point.

The vector r 0 is simple to find: r 0 = O =,,. The vector v is simple to find too: v = 2,,. We conclude: r(t) =,, + t 2,,. Find the line through = (,, ) perpendicular to and intersecting the line ˆr(t) =, 2, 3 + t 2,, S 0 V = S 0 V Solution: Find a point S on the intersection such that S is perpendicular to ˆv = 2,,. Writing S t = ˆr(t) = ( + 2t), (2 t), (3 + t), S t = 2t, ( t), (2 + t) ˆv = 2,, St ˆv = 0. 0 = St ˆv = 4t + ( + t) + (2 + t) = 6t + t 0 = 6.

Find the distance from the point S = (, 2, ) to the line S 0 S d = S sin( 0 ) line = 2 t, = + 2t, = 2 + 2t. V Solution: First we need to compute the vector equation of the line above. This line has tangent vector v =, 2, 2. (The vector components are the numbers that multipl t.) This line contains the vector = (2,, 2). (Just evaluate the line above at t = 0.) Therefore, S =, 3,.

Since d = S v / v, we need to compute: i j k S v = 3 = (6 + 2) i ( 2 ) j + ( 2 + 3) k, 2 2 that is, S v = 8, 3,. We then compute the lengths: S v = = 74, v = = 3. The distance from S to the line is d = 74/3. Eercise Consider the lines (t) = + t, (s) = 2s, (t) = t, (s) = + s, (t) = t, (s) = 2 + 4s. Are the lines parallel? Do the intersect?

Therefore, the equation of the plane is 0 = ( 0 ) n = ( 0 )n + ( 0 )n + ( 0 )n.

15 Equation of a plane in Cartesian coordinates Find the equation of a plane containing 0 = (, 2, 3) and perpendicular to n =,, 2. Solution: The point = (,, ) belongs to the plane above iff ( 0 ) n = 0, that is, ( ), ( 2), ( 3),, 2 = 0. Computing the dot product above we get ( ) ( 2) + 2( 3) = 0. The equation of the plane can be also written as + 2 = 5. Equation of a plane in Cartesian coordinates Find a point 0 and the perpendicular vector n to the plane = 3. Solution: We know that the general equation of a plane is n + n + n = d. The components of the vector n, called normal vector, are the coefficients that multipl the variables, and. Therefore, n = 2, 4,. A point 0 on the plane is simple to find. Just look for the intersection of the plane with one of the coordinate ais. For eample: set = 0, = 0 and find from the equation of the plane: 2 = 3, that is = 3/2. Therefore, 0 = (3/2, 0, 0).

We need to proof the distance formula d = ( 0 ) n. n n d n From the picture we see that d = 0 cos(θ), where θ is the angle between 0 and n, where the absolute value are needed since the distance is a non-negative number. Recall: ( 0 ) n = 0 n cos(θ) 0 cos(θ) = 0 ( 0 ) n. n Take the absolute value above, and that is the formula for d.

21 Distance formula from a point to a plane Find the distance from the point = (, 2, 3) to the plane = 4. Solution: We need to find a point 0 on the plane and its normal vector n. Then use the formula d = ( 0 ) n / n. A point on the plane is simple to find: Choose a point that intersects one of the ais, for eample = 0, = 0, and = 4. That is, 0 = (4, 0, 0). The normal vector is in the plane equation: n =, 3, 2. We now compute 0 = 3, 2, 3. Then, d = d = 3 4. Clinders and quadratic surfaces (Sect. 2.6). Clinders.

22 Clinders. Definition Given a curve on a plane, called the generating curve, a clinder is a surface in space generating b moving along the generating curve a straight line perpendicular to the plane containing the generating curve. A circular clinder is the particular case when the generating curve is a circle. In the picture, the generating curve lies on the -plane. r Find the equation of the clinder given in the picture. r Solution: The intersection of the clinder with the = 0 plane is a circle with radius r, hence points of the form (,, 0) belong to the clinder iff = r 2 and = 0. For 0, the intersection of horiontal planes of constant with the clinder again are circles of radius r, hence points of the form (,, ) belong to the clinder iff = r 2 and constant. Summariing, the equation of the clinder is = r 2. We do not mention the coordinate, since the equation above holds for ever value of R.

23 Find the equation of the clinder given in the picture. r Solution: The generating curve is a circle, but this time on the plane = 0. Hence point of the form (, 0, ) belong to the clinder iff = r 2. We conclude that the equation of the clinder above is = r 2. We do not mention the coordinate, since the equation above holds for ever value of R. Find the equation of the clinder given in the picture. 4 2 parabola Solution: The generating curve is a parabola on planes with constant. This parabola contains the points (0, 0, 0), (, 0, ), and (2, 0, 4). Since three points determine a unique parabola and = 2 contains these points, then at = 0 the generating curve is = 2. The clinder equation does not contain the coordinate. Hence, = 2, R.
