Assigned Work

As per your request, below you will find the suggested practice problems from section 8.4 and section 8.5.  All of these questions involve Equations of Planes - Vector, Parametric and Cartesian (scalar) forms.

From 8.4 - pages 459 and 460
#'s 1, 3, 5, 9, 10, 13 and 15

From 8.5 - pages 468 and 469
#'s 1, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12 and 15

If you have questions and comment at some point this weekend I will make it a point to check the blog at least once each night (Friday, Saturday and Sunday)  I will probably check more often than that though as I will be locked up in my house MARKING all weekend!!!

NOTE:  The plan is to move into Chapter 9, Section 9.1 in class on Monday.

Section 8.5

We kind of rushed through this section a little bit.  We looked at two or three examples.  You are going to have to go back and read the last example on your own...this involves finding the angle that is formed between two planes.

Be sure to complete the above questions that we did not get to finish on your own.  I will try and post the solutions on the blog...maybe one of you can provide a solution under the comment section for me :)

Section 8.4

We have moved onto equations of planes in three space.  Today we looked at the vector and parametric equations.

No formal homework tonight.  We will double up on Wednesday or Thursday this week :)-

Re-read section 8.4 at home tonight as well as section 8.5 as we will look at teh Cartesian (ie. scalar) Equation of a Plane in class tomorrow.

Section 8.3

We have now moved into vector equations of lines in 3-space.

HOMEWORK:  Page 449 - 450, #'s 1abc, 2abc, 3, 5ac, 7 and 9

Don't forget to stay ahead of me and read section 8.4 prior to class on Tuesday!!!

Section 8.2

We looked more closely at the Cartesian (or scalar) equation of a line and how it connects to vectors in class today.

HOMEWORK:  Page 443 - 444, #'s 1, 5, 6, 9, 10abc and 11

NOTE:  We will be moving back into 3-space starting on Monday so be sure to read ahead into section 8.3.
