HW1 is now due Friday mostly because of confusing

regarding its content, as well as

insufficient time for review. Thats fine. I think
there wont be anymore extensions of
this sort later; as a baseline, I think it should take
your teacher an hour and a half
to solve the homework in one sitting. This time around
took me two hours, so Ill
probably slightly curb the amount of work Ill give for
the next homeworks.
Side note. My math classes in college, the weekly
problem sets could take me 4-6 hours
to solve on average and occasionally longer, haha. But
I was in honors math.
HW 2 is now due Tuesday, but I will assign it on
Wednesday or Thursday instead of
Friday.

HW 1 Bookwork
For bookwork, at least, dont worry about the pdf
anymore, or the previous email. Here is all the
bookwork you
have to do.
#1, 3a p. 562. (I will cover 3part b in class.)
#1, 2, 4 p. 564.
#1, abe p. 567. plane vector alg means draw
diagrams.
#2a, #4 p. 567.
#2 p. 570. Change phrasing to find ALL collinear
vectors. Basically this means write
it in the form lambda times a vector, where lambda can
be any real number.
#3 p. 570.
#4 p. 570. There are two answers for each part!
#3, 4 p. 573.
#2 cdfh p. 579
#5 p. 579. Might be difficult if you dont see the
key.
#2, 4 p. 583.
#3 p. 586
#5,6,7 p. 586.

First and foremost, I accidentally repeated some of the
problems - specifically those
on pages 564, 567, and 570. You can ignore everything
written down on the HW sheet for
those pages, because here are the problems:
#1, 2, 4 p. 564.
#1, abe p. 567. plane vector alg means draw
diagrams.
#2a, #4 p. 567.
#2 p. 570. Change phrasing to find ALL collinear

Yeah, so, my handwriting is bad when I write fast and
when its past 2AM. The next
homework should not be so illegible.
A student told me to type out the directions from this
homework for you; here they
are.
(1), #2 p. 570. Change phrasing to find ALL collinear
vectors. Basically this means
write it in the form lambda times a vector, where
lambda can be any real number.
(2). Rewrite vectors from #2 p. 570 as
A. a unit vector times a scalar. (i.e. find the
value of the scalar).
B. as linear combinations of the basis vectors,
<1,0> and <0,1>.
(3) What are the three common ways to notate vectors?
Notate <2,1> with these 3 ways.
(4) Give 2 real life examples of a 1-D vector. (Please
dont use temperature. Also,
Id like to add that you draw them on the real number
line.
(5) How is the force of a pencil on paper a vector? The
trajectory of a cannon ball?
(Trajectory means path. That means I am not asking
for a velocity vector, but rather
a displacement vector.)
(6) #1, abe p. 567. plane vector alg means draw
diagrams.
#4 p. 570. (There are 2 answers for each!)
#5 p. 579. A little difficult if you dont see the
key.
#4 p. 584 and #8 p. 586 are crossed out. Do not do
them.
(7) What is the angle between:
(8)Point O is where all the diagonals of this
rectangular prism meet. Compute OA dot
OB. Also compute OA dot BO. (This prism has a square
base, sides 1, and a height of
2.)
(9) Normalize the following.
(10) We have the line:
For what a,b,c will this line pass through (6,1,7)?
Is **** the same line? (i.e. Does it describe the exact
same line?)
That should be all. I didnt write all the equations
and doc products in, but email me if you cant read
them.
