Rapid Recall

  1. Which problems are you ready to present?
  2. Which problems did you sincerely attempt (spent sufficient time to develop questions if you got stuck)?
  3. Give a vector equation of the line that passes through $P=(3,4)$ and $Q=(-2,5)$.
  4. Find the angle between $\vec P$ and $\vec Q$.
  5. Give two vectors that are orthogonal to $\vec P$.

Group problems

Let $P=(3,4)$ and $Q=(-2,5)$.

  1. The projection of $\vec P$ onto $\vec Q$ is $\ds \text{proj}_\vec Q\vec P = \frac{\vec P\cdot \vec Q}{\vec Q\cdot \vec Q}\vec Q$. Compute the projection of $\vec P$ onto $\vec Q$.
  2. Draw $\vec P$, $\vec Q$ and $\text{proj}_\vec Q\vec P $ on the same grid, all with their base at the origin. Try your best to give the $x$ and $y$ directions the same scale, otherwise you won't be able to see the connections among vectors.
  3. Compute the projection of $\vec Q$ onto $\vec P$.
  4. Then draw $\vec P$, $\vec Q$ and $\text{proj}_\vec P\vec Q $ on the same grid, all with their base at the origin. Then add to your picture the vector difference $\vec Q - \text{proj}_\vec P\vec Q $.
  5. Draw two random vectors on your chalk board, with their base at the same point. Label them $\vec u$ and $\vec v$. Then draw both $\text{proj}_\vec v\vec u $ and $\text{proj}_\vec u\vec v $.
  6. How much work is done by $\vec P$ through a displacement $\vec Q$?
