Document Summary

This test is closed book and closed notes. For full credit show all of your work (legibly!). Each problem is worth 10 points (a total of 50 points): find the projection of (cid:104)2s, 1, s 1(cid:105) onto the vector (cid:104) 2t, 5 t2, 4t(cid:105). The formula for projection of a vector a onto a vector b is (cid:19) (cid:18) a b. 4st + 5 t2 + 4st 4t. 4t2 + 25 10t2 + t4 + 16t2(cid:104) 2t, 5 t2, 4t(cid:105) (cid:104) 2t, 5 t2, 4t(cid:105) 5 4t t2 t4 + 10t2 + 25 (cid:104) 2t, 5 t2, 4t(cid:105) So we are looking for the area shown in the gure below. The technique that we have learned for nding area of triangles using vec- tors is to take the magnitude of the cross product and divide by 2. But cross product only works in three dimensions.
