1)(10pts) Show that the angle between vectors a = [− 2 , 1 , x] and b = [x, − 1 , 2] is
always greater than π/2 for any x.
Solution: By definition of inner product:
|a · b| = |a||b| cos θ,
where θ is the angle between a and b. Then, since
|a · b| = − 2 x − 1 + 2x = − 1.
and |a| =
4 + x^2 + 1 and |b| =
4 + x^2 + 1
cos(θ) =
|a · b|
|a||b|
4 + x^2 + 1
Since x
2 ≥ 0, whatever x, then, cos(θ) < 0 for any x. Since cos(θ) < 0
while π/ 2 < θ ≤ π, θ > π/2 for any x.

where C is the CCW-oriented boundary of upper-half unit disk D.
(Hint: The region D is described as − 1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤

The curve C is described as r(t) = (cos(t), sin(t)), for 0 ≤ t ≤ π,
and r(t) = (cos(t), 0), −π ≤ t ≤ 0. You can compute using either

b)(5pts) show that ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣
z 1 − z 2
z 1 + z 2
if |z 1 | = 3|z 2 |.
Solution:
a) By the triangle inequality,
|z 1 | = |z 1 + z 2 − z 2 | ≤ |z 1 + z 2 | + |z 2 | → |z 1 | − |z 2 | ≤ |z 1 − z 2 |,
in addition, since
|z 1 + z 2 | ≤ |z 1 | + |z 2 |,
Then,
z 1 − z 2
z 1 + z 2
|z 1 | − |z 2 |
|z 1 | + |z 2 |
|z 2 |
|z 1 | + |z 2 |
|z 2 |
|z 1 | + |z 2 |
b) Since ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣
z 1 − z 2
z 1 + z 2
|z 1 | − |z 2 |
|z 1 | + |z 2 |
and
|z 2 | = |z 2 |, |z 1 | = |z 1 |,
then, (^) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣
