Question 1 - Vectors (20 points)
If:
p = 2 i -− 4 j + 3 k ,
q = 4 i + j + 12 k and
r = 3 i -− k
a) Find: 3 p +2 q
b) Find: q x
r
c) Show that q and r are perpendicular
d) Define the unit vector in the direction of p
solution:
a) 3 2 i -− 4 j + 3 k + 2 4 i + j + 12 k = 6 i -− 12 j + 9 k + 8 i + 2 j + 24 k
= 14 i -− 10 j + 33 k (5 points, matrixform also correct, miscalculation = 0 points)
b) 2 i -− 4 j + 3 k x3 i -− k = (-−1 -− 0) i + (36 + 4) j + (0 -− 3) k
= -− i + 40 j -− 3 k
(5 points, matrixform also correct, 1 miscalculation = 3 points, more miscalculations =
0 points)
c)
q ·
r = 12 + 0 -− 12 = 0 (5 points)
so
q and r are perpendicular
p 2 i -−4 j +3 k 2 i -−4 j +3 k 2 4 3
d) = = = i -− j+ k (5 points)
p 4+16+9 29 29 29 29

Question 2 - Matrices (20 points)
-−3 5 -−1 3 4 -−2 2
If A = ; B= ; C=
7 -−4 2 1 -−1 3 1
Calculate, if possible:
a) A - 4B
b) CT A
c) CB
d) det(B)
solution:
-−3 5 -−1 3 -−3 5 -−4 12 1 -−7
a) -− 4 = -− =
7 -−4 2 1 7 -−4 8 4 -−1 -−8
(5 points, 1 miscalculation = 3 points, more miscalculations = 0 points)
4 -−1 -−19 24
-−3 5
b) -−2 3 · = 27 -−22
7 -−4
2 1 1 6
(5 points, 1 miscalculation = 3 points, more miscalculations = 1 point if CT is correct
otherwise 0 points)
c) Not possible (5 points)
d) -−1·1 -− 3·2 = -−7 (5 points)
