The equation represents a cylinder that has a radius of 3.

10.
Therefore, triangle PQR is a right triangle with a right-angle P and QR as the hypotenuse.

𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒: (𝑥 − 2)2 + (𝑦 + 6)2 + (𝑧 − 4)2 = 25

The xy-plane: The sphere intersects with the xy-plane and forms a circle with the equation below.
(𝑥 − 2)2 + (𝑦 + 6)2 = 9, 𝑧 = 0
The yz-plane: The sphere intersects with the yz-plane and forms a circle with the equation below.
(𝑦 + 6)2 + (𝑧 − 4)2 = 21, 𝑥 = 0
The xz-plane: The sphere does not intersect with the xz-plane.

The given equation can be written in the form below.


𝑥 2 + 8𝑥 + 16 + 𝑦 2 − 6𝑦 + 9 + 𝑧 2 + 2𝑧 + 1 = 9
(𝑥 + 4)2 + (𝑦 − 3)2 + (𝑧 + 1)2 = 9
Therefore, we can see that the given equation represents a sphere with its center (-4,3,-1) and
its radius 3.

(4,7) refers to a point in the plane while <4,7> refers to a vector that is equivalent to the position
vector of that point.

The magnitude of u+v will be the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle with the
length of both sides 1, which is √2. Since u+v+w=0, the magnitude of vector w must be equal to
the magnitude of u+v. Therefore, |w|=√2.

Section 12.3 [Dot Product]

1.
(b), (c), (d) are meaningful.

(a) is meaningless because with a∙b being a scalar and with c being a vector, no dot product can
be made between a scalar and a vector.
(b) is meaningful because with a∙b being a scalar and with c being a vector, we can multiply vector
c with the scalar produced from the dot product.
(c) is meaningful because we can multiply the magnitude of a with the scalar produced from b∙c.
(d) is meaningful because we can calculate the dot product between vector a and vector (b+c).
(e) is meaningless because we cannot add a scalar a∙b to vector c.
(f) is meaningless because the magnitude of a is not a vector and therefore cannot be a
component in calculating the dot product.

The magnitude of u and w is 1, and the magnitude of v is when calculated through the
2
Pythagorean theorem. Also, the angle between u and v is 45°, while the angle between u and w
is 90°.
