A particle is traveling along the line (x-3)/2=(y+1)/(-2)=z-1. Write the equation of its path in the form . Find the distance of closest approach of the particle to the origin (that is, the distance from the origin to the line). If t represents time, show that the time of closest approach is . Use this value to check your answer for the distance of closest approach. Hint: See Figure 5.3. If P is the point of closest approach, what is ?
Find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the real symmetric matrix
Show that the eigenvalues are real and the eigenvectors are perpendicular.
Use index notation as in (9.9) to prove the second part of the associative law for matrix multiplication: (AB)C = ABC
Find a vector perpendicularto both i+j and i-2k .
In Problems show that the given functions are linearly independent.
