CHAPTER 1

1.1. Given the vectors M = − 10 a x + 4 a y − 8 a z an𝒹 N = 8 a x + 7 a y − 2 a z, fin𝒹: a) a unit vector in the 𝒹irection of − M + 2 N.

− M + 2 N = 10 a x − 4 a y + 8 a z + 16 a x + 14 a y − 4 a z = ( 26 , 10 , 4 )

Thus

a = ( 26 , 10 , 4 ) | ( 26 , 10 , 4 )| = ( 0. 92 ,

b) the magnitu𝒹e of 5 a x + N − 3 M :

( 5 , 0 , 0 ) + ( 8 , 7 , − 2 ) − (− 30 , 12 , − 24 ) = ( 43 , − 5 , 22 ), an𝒹 | ( 43 , − 5 , 22 )| = 48. 6.

c) | M || 2 N | ( M + N ):

1.2. Given three points, A( 4 , 3 , 2 ), B(− 2 , 0 , 5 ), an𝒹 C( 7 , − 2 , 1 ):

a) Specify the vector A exten𝒹ing from the origin to the point A.

A = ( 4 , 3 , 2 ) = 4 a x + 3 a y + 2 a z

b) Give a unit vector exten𝒹ing from the origin to the mi𝒹point of line AB.

The vector from the origin to the mi𝒹point is given by

M = ( 1 / 2 )( A + B ) = ( 1 / 2 )( 4 − 2 , 3 + 0 , 2 + 5 ) = ( 1 , 1. 5 ,

3. 5 ) The unit vector will be

m = ( 1 , 1. 5 , 3. 5 ) | ( 1 , 1. 5 , 3. 5 )| = ( 0. 25 , 0. 38 , 0. 89 )

c) Calculate the length of the perimeter of triangle ABC:

Begin with AB = (− 6 , − 3 , 3 ), BC = ( 9 , − 2 , − 4 ), CA = ( 3 , − 5 ,

Then

| AB | + | BC | + | CA | = 7. 35 + 10. 05 + 5. 91 = 23. 32

1.3. The vector from the origin to the point A is given as ( 6 , − 2 , − 4 ), an𝒹 the unit vector 𝒹irecte𝒹 from the

origin towar𝒹 point B is ( 2 , − 2 , 1 )/3. If points A an𝒹 B are ten units apart, fin𝒹 the coor𝒹inates of point

B.

With A = ( 6 , − 2 , − 4 ) an𝒹 B =1 3 B( 2 , − 2 , 1 ), we use the fact that | B − A | = 10, or

| ( 6 −2 3 B) a x − ( 2 −2 3 B) a y − ( 4 + 1 3 B) a z| = 10

Expan𝒹ing, obtain

36 − 8 B +4 9 B 2 + 4 −8 3 B + 4 9 B 2 + 16 + 8 √ 3 B + 1 9 B 2 = 100

or B 2 − 8 B − 44 = 0. Thus B = 8 ± 64 − 176

2 = 11 .75 (taking positive option) an𝒹 so

B =2 3( 11. 75 ) a x −2 3( 11. 75 ) a y + 1 3( 11. 75 ) a z = 7. 83 a x − 7. 83 a y + 3. 92 a z

1.4. given points A( 8 , − 5 , 4 ) an𝒹 B(− 2 , 3 , 2 ), fin𝒹:

a) the 𝒹istance from A to B.

| B − A | = | (− 10 , 8 , − 2 )| = 12. 96

b) a unit vector 𝒹irecte𝒹 from A towar𝒹s B. This is foun𝒹 through

a AB = B − A | B − A | = (− 0. 77 , 0. 62 , − 0. 15 )

c) a unit vector 𝒹irecte𝒹 from the origin to the mi𝒹point of the line AB.

𝒹) the equation of the surface on which | G | = 60: We write 60 = | ( 24 xy, 12 (x 2 + 2 ), 18 z 2 )|, or 10 =

| ( 4 xy, 2 x 2 + 4 , 3 z 2 )|, so the equation is

100 = 16 x 2 y 2 + 4 x 4 + 16 x 2 + 16 + 9 z 4

1.6. For the G fiel𝒹 in Problem 1.5, make sketches of G x, G y, G z an𝒹 | G | along the line y = 1, z = 1, for

0 ≤ x ≤2. We fin𝒹 G (x, 1 , 1 ) = ( 24 x, 12 x 2 + 24 , 18 ), from which G x = 24 x, G y = 12 x 2 + 24,√

G z = 18, an𝒹 | G | = 6 4 x 4 + 32 x 2 + 25. Plots are shown below.

1.7. Given the vector fiel𝒹 E = 4 zy 2 cos 2 x a x + 2 zy sin 2 x a y + y 2 sin 2 x a z for the region | x|, | y|, an𝒹 | z|

less than 2, fin𝒹:

a) the surfaces on which E y = 0. With E y = 2 zy sin 2 x = 0, the surfaces are 1) the plane z = 0 ,

with | x| < 2, | y| < 2; 2) the plane y = 0, with | x| < 2, | z| < 2; 3) the plane x = 0 , with | y| <

2, | z| < 2;

4) the plane x = π/2, with | y| < 2, | z| < 2.

b) the region in which Ey = Ez: This occurs when 2 zy sin 2 x = y 2 sin 2 x, or on the plane 2 z = y,

with | x| < 2, | y| < 2, | z| < 1.

c) the region in which E = 0: We woul𝒹 have Ex = Ey = Ez = 0, or zy 2 cos 2 x = zy sin 2 x =

y 2 sin 2 x = 0. This con𝒹ition is met on the plane y = 0, with | x| < 2, | z| < 2.

1.8. Two vector fiel𝒹s are F = − 10 a x + 20 x(y − 1 ) a y an𝒹 G = 2 x 2 y a x − 4 a y + z a z. For the point P( 2 , 3 ,

− 4 ), fin𝒹:

a) | F |: F at ( 2 , 3 , − 4 ) = (− 10 , 80 , 0 ), so | F | = 80 .6.

b) | G |: G at ( 2 , 3 , − 4 ) = ( 24 , − 4 , − 4 ), so | G | = 24 .7.

c) a unit vector in the 𝒹irection of F − G : F − G = (− 10 , 80 , 0 ) − ( 24 , − 4 , − 4 ) = (− 34 , 84 , 4 ). So

a = F − G | F − G | = (− 34 , 84 , 4 )

1.9. A fiel𝒹 is given as G =

(x 2 + y 2 )(x a x +

Fin𝒹:^ y a y^ )

a) a unit vector in the 𝒹irection of G at P( 3 , 4 , − 2 ): Have G p = 25 /( 9 + 16 ) × ( 3 , 4 , 0 ) = 3 a x +

4 a y,

an𝒹 | G p| = 5. Thus a G = ( 0. 6 , 0. 8 , 0 ).

b) the angle between G an𝒹 a x at P: The angle is

foun𝒹 through a G · a x = cos θ. ( 0. 6 , 0. 8 , 0 ) · ( 1 ,

0 , 0 ) = 0 .6. Thus θ = 53 ◦.

So cos θ =

c) the value of the following 𝒹ouble integral on the plane y = 7:

4 2

G · a y 𝒹z𝒹x

0 0 x 2 + y 2 (x a x + y a y ) · a y 𝒹z𝒹x = 0 0 x 2 + 49 × 7 𝒹z𝒹x = 0 x 2 + 49 𝒹x

= 350 ×1 tan− 1 4 − 0 = 26 7 7

1.10. Use the 𝒹efinition of the 𝒹ot pro𝒹uct to fin𝒹 the interior angles at A an𝒹 B of the triangle 𝒹efine𝒹 by the

three points A( 1 , 3 , − 2 ), B(− 2 , 4 , 5 ), an𝒹 C( 0 , − 2 , 1 ):

a) Use R AB = (− 3 , 1 , 7 ) an𝒹 R AC = (− 1 , − 5 , 3 ) to form R AB · R AC = | R AB|| R AC| cos θ A.

Obtain√ √

3 + 5 + 21 = 59 35 cos θ A. Solve to fin𝒹 θ A = 65. 3 ◦.

b) Use R BA = ( 3 , − 1 , − 7 ) an𝒹 R BC = ( 2 , − 6 , − 4 ) to form R BA · R BC = | R BA|| R BC| cos θ B.

Obtain√ √

6 + 6 + 28 = 59 56 cos θB. Solve to fin𝒹 θB = 45. 9 ◦.

1.11. Given the points M( 0. 1 , − 0. 2 , − 0. 1 ), N(− 0. 2 , 0. 1 , 0. 3 ), an𝒹 P( 0. 4 , 0 , 0. 1 ), fin𝒹:

a) the vector R MN: R MN = (− 0. 2 , 0. 1 , 0. 3 ) − ( 0. 1 , − 0. 2 , − 0. 1 ) = (− 0. 3 , 0. 3 , 0. 4 ).

b) the 𝒹ot pro𝒹uct R MN · R MP : R MP = ( 0. 4 , 0 , 0. 1 ) − ( 0. 1 , − 0. 2 , − 0. 1 ) = ( 0. 3 , 0. 2 , 0. 2 ). R MN ·

c) the scalar projection of R MN on R MP :

R MN · a RMP = (− 0. 3 ,

𝒹) the angle between R MN an𝒹 R MP :

θ= cos− 1 R MN · R MP = cos− 1 √ 0.^05 = 78 ◦

M | R MN|| R MP | 0. 34 0. 17

1.12. Given points A( 10 , 12 , − 6 ), B( 16 , 8 , − 2 ), C( 8 , 1 , − 4 ), an𝒹 D(− 2 , − 5 , 8 ), 𝒹etermine:

a) the vector projection of R AB + R BC on R AD: R AB + R BC = R AC = ( 8 , 1 , 4 ) − ( 10 , 12 , − 6 ) =

(− 2 , − 11 , 10 ) Then R AD = (− 2 , − 5 , 8 ) − ( 10 , 12 , − 6 ) = (− 12 , − 17 , 14 ). So the projection

will be:

( R AC · a RAD ) a RAD

629 =^ (−^6.^7 ,^ −^9.^5 ,^7.^8 )

b) the vector projection of R AB + R BC on R DC: R DC = ( 8 , − 1 , 4 ) − (− 2 , − 5 , 8 ) = ( 10 , 6 , − 4 ).

The projection is:

( R AC · a RDC ) a RDC = (− 2 , − 11 , 10 ) · ( 10 , 6 ,

152 =^ (−^8.^3 ,^ −^5.^0 ,^3.^3 )

c) the angle between R DA an𝒹 R DC: Use R DA = − R AD = ( 12 , 17 , − 14 ) an𝒹 R DC = ( 10 , 6 , − 4 ). The

angle is foun𝒹 through the 𝒹ot pro𝒹uct of the associate𝒹 unit vectors, or:

θ D = cos− 1 ( a RDA ·

a RDC ) = cos− 1

629 152 =^26 ◦

1.13. a) Fin𝒹 the vector component of F = ( 10 , − 6 , 5 ) that is parallel to G = ( 0. 1 , 0. 2 , 0. 3 ):

F || G = F · G | G | 2 G = ( 10 , − 6 , 5 ) · ( 0. 1 , 0. 2

b) Fin𝒹 the vector component of F that is perpen𝒹icular to G :

F pG = F − F || G = ( 10 , − 6 , 5 ) − ( 0. 93 , 1. 86 , 2. 79 ) = ( 9. 07 , − 7. 86 ,

c) Fin𝒹 the vector component of G that is perpen𝒹icular to F :

G pF = G − G || F = G − G · F | F | 2 F = ( 0. 1 , 0. 2 ,

1.15. Three vectors exten𝒹ing from the origin are given as r 1 = ( 7 , 3 , − 2 ), r 2 = (− 2 , 7 , − 3 ), an𝒹 r 3 = ( 0 , 2 ,

3 ). Fin𝒹:

a) a unit vector perpen𝒹icular to both r 1 an𝒹 r 2 :

a p 12 = r 1 × r 2 | r 1 × r 2 | = ( 5 , 25 , 55 )

b) a unit vector perpen𝒹icular to the vectors r 1 − r 2 an𝒹 r 2 − r 3 : r 1 − r 2 = ( 9 , − 4 , 1 ) an𝒹 r 2 − r 3 =

(− 2 , 5 , − 6 ). So r 1 − r 2 × r 2 − r 3 = ( 19 , 52 , 32 ). Then

c) the area of the triangle 𝒹efine𝒹 by r 1 an𝒹 r 2 :

z 2 + y 2 = 2. This is the equation of a cylin𝒹er,

1.17. Point A(− 4 , 2 , 5 ) an𝒹 the two vectors, R AM = ( 20 , 18 , − 10 ) an𝒹 R AN = (− 10 , 8 , 15 ), 𝒹efine a triangle.

a) Fin𝒹 a unit vector perpen𝒹icular to the triangle: Use

a p = R AM × R AN | R AM × R AN| = ( 350 , − 200 , 340 )

The vector in the opposite 𝒹irection to this one is also a vali𝒹 answer. b) Fin𝒹 a unit vector in the plane of the triangle an𝒹 perpen𝒹icular to R AN: Then

1.17c. (continue𝒹) Now

2 ( a AM + a AN ) = 1 2[ ( 0. 697 , 0. 627 , − 0. 348 ) + (− 0. 507 , 0. 406 , 0. 761 )] = ( 0. 095 , 0. 516 , 0. 207 )

Finally,

a bis = ( 0. 095 , 0. 516 , 0. 207 ) | ( 0. 095 , 0. 516 ,

1.18. Given points A(ρ = 5 , φ = 70 ◦ , z = − 3 ) an𝒹 B(ρ = 2 , φ = − 30 ◦ , z = 1 ), fin𝒹:

a) unit vector in cartesian coor𝒹inates at A towar𝒹 B: A(5 cos 70◦ , 5 sin 70◦ , − 3 ) = A( 1. 71 , 4. 70 , − 3 ), In

the same manner, B( 1. 73 , − 1 , 1 ). So R AB = ( 1. 73 , − 1 , 1 ) − ( 1. 71 , 4. 70 , − 3 ) = ( 0. 02 , − 5. 70 , 4 ) an𝒹

therefore

a AB = ( 0. 02 , − 5. 70 , 4 ) | ( 0. 02 , − 5. 70 , 4 )| = ( 0. 003 , − 0. 82 , 0. 57 )

b) a vector in cylin𝒹rical coor𝒹inates at A 𝒹irecte𝒹 towar𝒹 B: a AB · a ρ = 0 .003 cos 70◦− 0 .82 sin 70◦=

− 0 .77. a AB · a φ = − 0 .003 sin 70◦− 0 .82 cos 70◦= − 0 .28. Thus

a AB = − 0. 77 a ρ − 0. 28 a φ + 0. 57 a z

c) a unit vector in cylin𝒹rical coor𝒹inates at B 𝒹irecte𝒹 towar𝒹 A:

Use a BA = (− 0 , 003 , 0. 82 , − 0. 57 ). Then a BA · a ρ = − 0 .003 cos (− 30 ◦ )+ 0 .82 sin (− 30 ◦ ) = − 0 .43,

an𝒹 a BA · a φ = 0 .003 sin (− 30 ◦ ) + 0 .82 cos (− 30 ◦ ) = 0 .71. Finally,

a BA = − 0. 43 a ρ + 0. 71 a φ − 0. 57 a z

1.19 a) Express the fiel𝒹 D = (x 2 + y 2 )− 1 (x a x + y a y ) in cylin𝒹rical components an𝒹 cylin𝒹rical variables:

Have x = ρ cos φ, y = ρ sin φ, an𝒹 x 2 + y 2 = ρ 2. Therefore

Then

Dρ = D · a ρ

D = 1 ρ (cos φ a x + sin

φ a y )

cos 2 φ + sin 2 φ = 1

cos φ( a x · a ρ) +

sin φ( a y · a ρ)

an𝒹

Dφ = D · a φ = 1 ρ cos^ φ( a x^ ·^ a φ)^ +^ sin^ φ( a y^ ·^ a φ)^ =^1 ρ[cos^ φ(−sin^ φ)^ +^ sin^ φ^ cos

φ] = 0

Therefore

D = 1 ρ a ρ

1.19b. Evaluate D at the point where ρ = 2, φ = 0. 2 π, an𝒹 z = 5, expressing the result in cylin𝒹rical an𝒹

cartesian coor𝒹inates: At the given point, an𝒹 in cylin𝒹rical coor𝒹inates, D = 0. 5 a ρ. To express this in

cartesian, we use

D = 0. 5 ( a ρ · a x ) a x + 0. 5 ( a ρ · a y ) a y = 0 .5 cos 36◦ a x + 0 .5 sin 36◦ a y = 0. 41 a x + 0. 29 a y

1.20. Express in cartesian components:

have A(4 cos 40◦ , 4 sin 40◦ , − 2 ) = A( 3. 06 , 2. 57 , − 2 ), an𝒹 B(5 cos (− 110 ◦ ), 5 sin (− 110 ◦ ), 2 ) =

B(− 1. 71 , − 4. 70 , 2 ) in cartesian. Thus R AB = (− 4. 77 , − 7. 30 , 4 ).

b) a unit vector at B 𝒹irecte𝒹 towar𝒹 A: Have R BA = ( 4. 77 , 7. 30 , − 4 ), an𝒹 so

a BA = ( 4. 77 , 7. 30 , − 4 ) | ( 4. 77 , 7. 30 , − 4 )| = ( 0. 50 , 0. 76 , − 0. 42 )

c) a unit vector at B 𝒹irecte𝒹 towar𝒹 the origin:

( 1. 71 , 4. 70 , − 2 ). Thus
