1 Vector Basics 1. Sketch each vector, assuming the initial point is at the origin. (a) 3, 4 (b) 2, 8 (c) 5, 0, 4 2. Calculate the magnitude of each of the vectors in Question The initial point P and terminal point Q of a vector are given below. Sketch each vector and write it in component form. (a) P (3, 1), Q(7, 2) (b) P (5, 1, 2), Q(5, 8, 0) 4. Find the sum of the given vectors and illustrate geometrically. (a) v = 1, 4, w = 8, 4 (b) v = 3, 6, w = 7, 2 (c) v = 9, 1 3, w = 0, For each pair of vectors v, w in Question 4, sketch the vectors v, w, and v w. Calculate the difference v w and check it against your drawing. 6. Prove each of the following statements for three-dimensional vectors u, v, w and scalars (that is, real numbers) a, b. (a) u + v = v + u (vector addition is commutative) (b) u + (v + w) = (u + v) + w (vector addition is associative) (c) a(u + v) = au + av (scalar multiplication is distributive over vector addition) (d) (a + b)u = au + bu (e) au = a u 7. Let u = 3, 4 and v = 1, 1. Find scalars s and t so that the given equation is satisfied: (a) su + tv = 6, 0. (b) su + 8, 11 = tv. 8. Which of the following are unit vectors? 2 1 5, 5, 3 1 7, 7, 1 2, 1 2. Normalize those that are not already unit vectors. 9. Find a vector that has the same direction as 2i + 4j but has length Two nonzero vectors u and v are said to be linearly independent in the plane if they are non parallel. (a) If u and v have this property and au = bv for constants a, b, show that a = b = 0. (b) Show that the standard representation of a vector is unique. That is, if the vector u has the representation u = a 1 i + b 1 j and u = a 2 i + b 2 j is another such representation, then a 1 = a 2 and b 1 = b Suppose u and v are a pair of nonzero, nonparallel vectors. Find the set of real triples (a, b, c) such that au + b(u v) + c(u + v) = 0. Does it matter whether the vectors u and v are two-dimensional or three-dimensional? 1
2 Geometry problems using vectors 1. (a) Let three collinear points A, B, C have position vectors a, b, c respectively and suppose AC CB = λ µa+λb µ. Show that c = µ+λ. (b) Let points A, B have position vectors a, b. Using the part (a), show that the midpoint of AB has position vector 1 2 (a + b). (c) Use vectors to find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the points P ( 3, 8) and Q(9, 2). (d) What point is located 5 6 of the distance from P to Q? 2. Show that the line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half of its length. 3. Show that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. 4. In a triangle, let u, v, w be the vectors from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Show that u + v + w = Let the position vectors of the vertices of a triangle be a, b, and c. Prove that the medians of the triangle intersect at a single point using vector methods and find the position vector of this point (called the centroid) in terms of a, b, and c. 6. Let A, B, C, D be the vertices of a quadrilateral and let M, N, P, Q be the midpoints of the sides AB, BC, CD, AD respectively. Show that MNP Q is a parallelogram. 7. A spy finds some map coordinates, a crude drawing, and these words: From the snowman, pace off the distance to the palm tree, turn left, pace off an equal distance, then drive a stake. From the snowman again, pace off the distance to the cactus, turn right, pace off an equal distance, and drive a second stake. Dig halfway between the stakes. The spy arrives at the location indicated by the map coordinates. There is a palm tree and a cactus, but the snowman has melted! How can the spy know where to dig? 8. The head pirate of the Bermuda triangle wants to find the location of a sunken treasure ship and dive down to get the gold. He knows the GPS coordinates of four points, and also some instructions on how to find the ship: From point A, sail half of the distance to point B, then a third of the distance to point C, and finally a fourth of the distance to point D. Unfortunately, the pirate does not know how the coordinates are labeled, so he does not know which point to start from. What is the minimum number of dives he must make in order to find the treasure? 9. Prove that the lines joining the midpoints of the opposite edges of a tetrahedron are concurrent and bisect each other. 2
3 Dot Product Problems 1. For u = 1, 2, 3, v = 1, 0, 1, and w = 0, 2, 1, compute (a) (u + v) w (b) 2v + 4w (c) u w + v w 2.

(a) u v = v u (b) u (v + w) = u v + u w (c) k(u v) = (ku) v = u (kv) 4. Determine whether the given vectors are orthogonal, parallel, or neither. (a) u = 5, 3, 7, v = 6, 8, 2 (b) u = 4, 6, v = 3, 2 (c) u = i + 2j + 5k, v = 3i + 4j k 5. What is the projection of v = 5, 0 onto u = 3, 4? 6. The Triangle Inequality for vectors is a + b a + b. (a) Give a geometric interpretation of the Triangle Inequality. (b) Prove the Triangle Inequality. 7. Let AB be the diameter of a circle, and let C be any other point on the circumference.

(b) Prove the Parallelogram Law. 8. A line segment AB, where A is a point on plane P, is said to be perpendicular to P if it is perpendicular to every line on the plane through A. A famous hard theorem in Euclid (hard to prove by the methods available to Euclid), is: If AB is perpendicular to two different lines through A in P, then it is perpendicular to P. Prove this theorem using dot products. 9. Prove that the altitudes of a triangle intersect at a common point. (An altitude of a triangle is a straight line through a vertex and perpendicular to the opposite side.) 10. If r = x, y, z, a = a 1, a 2, a 3, and b = b 1, b 2, b 3, show that the vector equation (r a) (r b) = 0 represents a sphere, and find its center and radius. 4
