Chapter 8: Q27E (page 437)
Question: 27. Give an example of a closed subset\(S\)of\({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\)such that\({\rm{conv}}\,S\)is not closed.
Short Answer
The set is \(S = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):{x^2}{y^2} = 1,\,\,y > 0} \right\}\).

Question: In Exercise 3, determine whether each set is open or closed or neither open nor closed.
3. a. \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):y > {\bf{0}}} \right\}\)
b. \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):x = {\bf{2}}\,\,\,and\,\,{\bf{1}} \le y \le {\bf{3}}} \right\}\)
c. \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):x = {\bf{2}}\,\,\,and\,\,{\bf{1}} < y < {\bf{3}}} \right\}\)
d. \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):xy = {\bf{1}}\,\,\,and\,\,x > {\bf{0}}} \right\}\)

Question: Let \({\bf{p}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{3}}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{2}}\end{array}} \right)\), \({\bf{n}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{2}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{5}}\\{ - {\bf{1}}}\end{array}} \right)\), \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{1}}\end{array}} \right)\), \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{2}}}\\{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{3}}\end{array}} \right)\), and \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{3}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{4}}\\{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{4}}\end{array}} \right)\), and let H be the hyperplane in\({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{4}}}\) with normal n and passing through p. Which of the points \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}\), \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}}\), and \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{3}}}\) are on the same side of H as the origin, and which are not?
Question: In Exercise 6, determine whether or not each set is compact and whether or not it is convex.
6. Use the sets from Exercise 4.
In Exercises 11 and 12, mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer.
12.a. The essential properties of Bezier curves are preserved under the action of linear transformations, but not translations.
b. When two Bezier curves \({\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \left( t \right)\) and \(y\left( t \right)\) are joined at the point where \({\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \left( 1 \right) = y\left( 0 \right)\), the combined curve has \({G^0}\) continuity at that point.
c. The Bezier basis matrix is a matrix whose columns are the control points of the curve.
Question: In Exercises 5-8, find the minimal representation of the polytope defined by the inequalities \(A{\bf{x}} \le {\bf{b}}\) and \({\bf{x}} \ge {\bf{0}}\).
5. \(A = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&2\\3&1\end{array}} \right),{\rm{ }}{\bf{b}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\bf{10}}}\\{{\bf{15}}}\end{array}} \right)\)
