Exam 1, Chapter 11
Vectors, Curves, and Surfaces
Show all your work on the exam for full credit. You may use graphing (or regular)
calculators.
The main topics covered in this exam are:
1. Vector geometry: The dot product of vectors and its geometric interpretation in
terms of length and angle. Unit vectors. The orthogonal projection of one vector on
another. The cross product of vectors and its geometric interpretation in terms of length
and angle, and in terms of area.
2. Vector equations of lines in 2D and 3D in various forms (e.g. parametric, symmet-
ric) and from various data (e.g. two points, point and parallel vectors)
3. Vector equations of planes in 3D in various forms (e.g. parametric, point-normal)
and from various data (e.g. three points, point and parallel vectors)
4. Distance from a point to a line or plane. Distance between two non-intersecting
lines or planes.
5. Tangent lines of curves
6. Velocity and acceleration in 3D, tangential and normal components of acceleration,
curvature.
