1. Solve the system of equations $3x-y+2z=4, 4x+z=7$. Start by picking one of the variables to equal $t$, and then solve for all the others in terms of $t$.
  2. Let $P(x)=ax^2+bx+c$. Let $f(x)=\ln(x+1)$. Solve the system of equations $P(0)=f(0) $, $P'(0)=f'(0) $, and $P' '(0)=f''(0) $ for the coefficients $a,b,c$.
  3. Find the distance between the two points $(3,5,-2)$ and $(-1,6,4)$.
  4. Give an equation of the sphere that passes through the point $(3,5,-2)$ and has the center $(-1,6,4)$.
  5. For this one, have everyone in the group use chalk at the same time. In 3D, plot the points $(1,2,0)$, $(1,0,3)$, $(0,2,3)$, $(1,2,3)$, $(-2,4,-3)$.
  6. Find the component form of the vector that starts at $(4,-3)$ and ends at $(2,-2)$.
  7. Give a unit vector that points in the same direction as the previous. Then give a vector of length 3 that points in the same direction.
  8. Plot the vector valued function $\vec r(t) = (-2,1)t+(4,-3)$ for $0\leq t\leq 3$.
