A pair of lines in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) are said to be skew if they are neither parallel nor intersecting. Determine whether the following pairs of lines are parallel, intersecting, or skew. If the lines intersect. determine the point(s) of intersection. $$\begin{aligned} &\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle 3+4 t, 1-6 t, 4 t\rangle;\\\ &\mathbf{R}(s)=\langle-2 s, 5+3 s, 4-2 s\rangle \end{aligned}$$
A pair of lines in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) are said to be skew if they are neither parallel nor intersecting. Determine whether the following pairs of lines are parallel, intersecting, or skew. If the lines intersect. determine the point(s) of intersection. $$\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{r}(t)=\langle 4+t,-2 t, 1+3 t\rangle ;\\\ \mathbf{R}(s)=\langle 1-7 s, 6+14 s, 4-21 s\rangle \end{array}$$
Note that two lines \(y=m x+b\) and \(y=n x+c\) are orthogonal provided \(m n=-1\) (the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other). Prove that the condition \(m n=-1\) is equivalent to the orthogonality condition \(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=0\) where \(\mathbf{u}\) points in the direction of one line and \(\mathbf{v}\) points in the direction of the other line.
\(\mathbb{R}^{2}\) Consider the vectors \(\mathbf{I}=\langle 1 / \sqrt{2}, 1 / \sqrt{2}\rangle\) and \(\mathbf{J}=\langle-1 / \sqrt{2}, 1 / \sqrt{2}\rangle\). Show that \(\mathbf{I}\) and \(\mathbf{J}\) are orthogonal unit vectors.
Consider the ellipse \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle a \cos t, b \sin t\rangle\) for \(0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi,\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are real numbers. Let \(\theta\) be the angle between the position vector and the \(x\) -axis. a. Show that \(\tan \theta=(b / a) \tan t\) b. Find \(\theta^{\prime}(t)\) c. Note that the area bounded by the polar curve \(r=f(\theta)\) on the interval \([0, \theta]\) is \(A(\theta)=\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\theta}(f(u))^{2} d u\) Letting \(f(\theta(t))=|\mathbf{r}(\theta(t))|,\) show that \(A^{\prime}(t)=\frac{1}{2} a b\) d. Conclude that as an object moves around the ellipse, it sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
