1.

Find parametric equations for the path of a particle that moves along the circle

x 2 + ( y 1) = 4
2

In the manner described.

a) Once around clockwise, starting at ( 2,1)
b) Three times around counterclockwise, starting at ( 2,1)
c) Halfway around counterclockwise, starting ( 0,3)
2.

Sketch the curve with the given polar equation (either manual sketching or by using software)
a)

r = 2 ( 1 sin )

b) r = 2 cos 4
3.

Match the polar equations with the graph labels I VI. Give reasons for your choices.
a)

r = ,

b) r = 2 ,
c)

0 16
0 16

r = cos
3

d) r = 1 + 2 cos

4.

e)

r = 2 + sin 3

f)

r = 1 + 2sin 3

Use a graph to estimate the values of for which the curves r = 3 + sin 5 and r = 6sin
intersect. Then estimate the area that lies inside both curves.

5.

Find a vector equation and parametric equations for the line through the point ( 1, 0, 6 ) and
perpendicular to the plane x + 3 y + z = 5.

6.

Is the line through ( 4, 6,1) and ( 2, 0, 3) parallel to the line through ( 10,18, 4 ) and

( 5,3,14 ) ?
7.

Determine whether the lines L1 and L2 are parallel, skew or intersecting. If they intersect, find
the point of intersection.

L1 : x = 6t , y = 1 + 9t , z = 3t
L2 : x = 1 + 2s, y = 4 3s, z = s

8.

Find an equation of the plane through the point ( 0,1,1) , ( 1, 0,1) , and ( 1,1, 0 ) .

9.

Given y = z 2 x 2 .
Identify the surface and sketch it (either manual sketching or by using software).

10.

Given x 2 y 2 + z 2 4 x 2 y 2 z + 4 = 0 .
Reduce the equation to one of the standard forms, classify the surface, and sketch it.

11.

Change ( 1, 1, 4 ) from rectangular to cylindrical coordinate.

12.
