    MATH 2130 Test 1 Fall 2024

    15 1. Find the equation of the plane that contains the point (1, −1, 2) and the line
    x + y − 2z = 4, x − y + z = 2.

    If we set z = 0 in the equations for the line


    x + y = 4, x − y = 2, and these imply that x = 3, y = 1.
    A point on the line is Q(3, 1, 0). The vector joining P (1, −1, 2) and Q is PQ = (2, 2, −2). A vector
    along the line is
    î ĵ k̂
    1 1 −2 = (−1, −3, −2) as is (1, 3, 2).
    1 −1 1
    A vector perpendicular to the plane is
    î ĵ k̂
    2 2 −2 = (10, −6, 4) as is (5, −3, 2).
    1 3 2
    The equation of the plane is
    5(x − 3) − 3(y − 1) + 2z = 0 =⇒ 5x − 3y + 2z = 12.

    15 2. Find the distance between the lines


    x = 1 + 2t,
    x + 2y + z = 4,
    `1 : `2 : y = −1 + t,
    x − y + z = 1,
    z = 4t.

    î ĵ k̂
    A vector along `1 is 1 2 1 = (3, 0, −3), and one along `2 is (2, 1, 4). Since these vectors are
    1 −1 1
    not multiples of one another, the lines are not parallel. A vector perpendicular to both lines is
    î ĵ k̂ √
    1 0 −1 = (1, −6, 1). A unit vector perpendicular to both lines is n̂ = (1, −6, 1)/ 38.
    2 1 4
    If we set z = 0 in `1 ,
    x + 2y = 4, x − y = 1,
    and these imply that x = 2, y = 1. Hence, a point on `1 is R(2, 1, 0). A point on `2 is S(1, −1, 0).
    Vector RS = (−1, −2, 0). The distance between the lines is
    (1, −6, 1) 11
    |RS · n̂| = (−1, −2, 0) · √ = √ .
    38 38
    10 3. Find all unit tangent vectors to the curve
    y = xz, z − x2 = 1,
    at the point (1, 2, 2).

    If we set x = t, parametric equations for the curve are x = t, y = t(t2 + 1), z = t2 + 1. A tangent
    vector to the curve at any point on the curve is
    T(t) = (1, 3t2 + 1, 2t).

    √ is T(1) = (1, 4, 2). Hence, the


    Since t = 1 gives the point (1, 2, 2), a tangent vector at the point
    two unit tangent vectors to the curve at the point are ±(1, 4, 2)/ 21.

    10 4. Find the equation for the projection of the curve


    p
    z = 16 − x2 − 2y 2 , x+z =4
    in the xy-plane. Describe the projection in detail.

    The equation of the projection of the curve in the xy-plane is


    p
    16 − x2 − 2y 2 = 4 − x
    16 − x2 − 2y 2 = 16 − 8x + x2
    2x2 + 2y 2 − 8x = 0
    x2 + y 2 − 4x = 0
    (x − 2)2 + y 2 = 4

    This is a circle centred at (2, 0) with radius 2.
