MATH 2500 homework

Fall 2009

These are homework problems for MATH 2500. Although I will try to keep them up to date, class announcements will give definitive information.

The date listed is the date the homework was assigned.


8/18: Section 10.2 # 25, 33, 43, 45; Section 10.3 # 3, 13, 16, 18, 29, 33

8/20 Section 10.4 # 1, 6, 13, 15, 17 (to find the area of the triangle in 15 and 17, use the method of Example 3, p.639). Section 10.5 # 1, 3, 9, 35, 37

8/25 Section 10.5 # 21, 23, 27, 39, 47, 53. Note: For 27, once you find the point of intersection, you can find two vectors on the line, then use the cross-product to find a normal vector to the plane. For 39, look at Example 11, p. 648. For 47, the angle between two planes is defined to be the angle between their normal vectors, which can be figured out using dot product, as in Example 12, p. 649.

8/27 Section 11.1 # 1, 4, 8, 9, 11, 21, 23

9/1 Section 11.2 # 1, 7, 9, 19, 24

9/3 Section 11.3 # 1, 5, 7, 19 Section 12.1 # 3, 5, 7, 9, 13-18, 21, 22, 27. (Look at the examples in the book to help you.)

9/10 Section 12.3 # 5, 7, 12, 16, 25, 27, 43, 51, 57, 58, 59, 60, 65, 69. (Note: In 59 and 60, A, B, and C are angles; think of the law of cosines for 59 and the law of sines for 60.)

9/15 Section 12.4 # 3, 7, 9, 11, 15, 27, 29, 39, 40, 42, 47
