11 HL Vectors Test

We’ll have our test on all the vectors material on Tuesday, February 13th.

The best resource to use in preparing for the test is the set of questions that has been distributed to you via email. If you have any questions about the solutions, we can discuss some of these in our classes leading up towards the test.

11 HL Lines in 3D

Consider the three lines defined below.

\[L_1: \vec{r}=\begin{bmatrix}1\\2\\3\end{bmatrix}+\lambda \begin{bmatrix}1\\-3\\-4\end{bmatrix}\]

\[L_2: \vec{r}=\begin{bmatrix}-2\\-3\\0\end{bmatrix}+\lambda \begin{bmatrix}4\\4\\0\end{bmatrix}\]

\[L_3: \vec{r}=\begin{bmatrix}2\\-5\\-3\end{bmatrix}+\lambda \begin{bmatrix}0\\2\\1\end{bmatrix}\]

Show that \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) are skew lines, then find the point of intersection of \(L_1\) and \(L_3\).

11 HL Planes

Here are a couple of short questions to look at before our next lesson.

  1. Verify that the points \(A(1,2,3)\), \(B(-2,0,0)\), and \(C(3,-2,-1)\) are not collinear.
  2. Find the vector equation of the plane that contains all three points from question 1.
  3. Find the Cartesian equation of the plane you determined in question 2.
  4. Verify your answers using GeoGebra.

11 HL Trigonometry with Triangles Test

On Friday, December 8th we’ll have our test on trigonometry with triangles (Chapter 11). I recommend selecting questions from the end of chapter review sets, along with questions from the the end of Chapter 8 from the Pearson textbook.
