1.Find the equation of the line passing through the point P (4,-10,6) and perpendicular to the plane 𝜋: 2𝑥
− 3𝑦 + 4𝑍 + 7 = 0

2. Let ℓ1: 𝑥 = 3 − 𝑡, 𝑦 = 4 + 4𝑡, 𝑧 = 1 + 2𝑡,𝑡 ∈ ℝ and

ℓ2: 𝑥 = 𝑠, 𝑦 = 3, 𝑧 = 2𝑠, 𝑠 ∈ ℝ be two lines in space

A, show that ℓ1 and ℓ2 are skew.

B, find two planes π1 and π2 such that π1 is parallel to π2

C, find the distance D of the two parallel planes π1 and π (the planes you found in (b)).

3. Let 𝑣 = ℝ2 be a vector space over ℝ. Let w = {(a, b, c) ∈ ℝ 3 : 2a-b+3c=0}. Then show that w is a
subspace of v.

4. Let S = {3-2x, x2+2x-1, x2+2} . Determine if the set S is linearly dependent or independent.

5. Let V= {(a, b, c, d) ∈ ℝ4 | b =3c-2d} and w = {(a, b, c, d) ∈ ℝ 4 | a=2c, b=d}. Then find a basis and the
dimension of both v, w and v ∩ w.

6. Let A= Find a matrix B such that (2B t-A) t = 2I3

7. Write the matrix B as a sum of symmetric and skew symmetric matrix if B =

8. Solve the system of equations by using Cramer’s rule.

𝑥 + 𝑦 + 2𝑧 − 𝑤 = −2

2𝑥 + 𝑦 − 2𝑧 − 2𝑤 = −2

3𝑥 − 3𝑤 = −3

9. Find the area of the parallelogram in space with two of its adjacent sides are on the vectors

𝑣 = 𝑖 + 7𝑘 And 𝑤 = 2𝑖 − 𝑗 + 4𝑘 using determinants.

10. Find the volume of the parallelepiped determined by the vector u = (6, 3,-1), v = (0, 1, 2) and w = (4,-
2, 5) in space.
