Document Summary

Solutions to homework assignment #1: sketch the curve r = 1 + cos , 0 2 , and nd the area it encloses. Figure 1: the curve r = 1 + cos , 0 2 . =0 (1 + 2 cos + cos2 : find the dot product ~a ~b in the following cases: (a) ~a =< 1, 0, 2 >,~b =< 2, 0, 1 > . Are these vectors orthogonal? (b) ~a =< x2y3 x3y2, x3y1 x1y3, x1y2 x2y1 >,~b =< x1, x2, x3 >, where the xi, yi are any real numbers. Are these vectors orthogonal? (c) ~a is a unit vector having the same direction as ~i +~j and ~b is a vector of magnitude. 2 in the direction of ~i + ~j ~k. Solution: (a) ~a ~b = 2 2 = 0. These vectors are orthogonal. (b) ~a ~b = (x2y3 x3y2)x1 + (x3y1 x1y3)x2 + (x1y2 x2y1)x3 = 0.
