Answer the following:
1. Given coordinates A = (7, -3) and B = (-2, 5), write vector AB in the form of xi + yj.
2. If A = (-2, 8, 4) and B = (-7, -5, -11), write vector BA in the form of xi + yj + zk.

b. -2i + 7j
c. 4i – 3j + 2k
6. Find the magnitude of a = [pic].
7. Find the unit vector in the direction of 6i – 4j + 3k.
8. Find the vector of length 16 in the direction of [pic].
9. Find the scalar products of these pairs of vectors:
a. 3i + 2j and 2i + 3j
b. 6i + j – k and –7i – 4j + 3k
c. –i + 5j + 4k and 5i – 4k
10. Find the scalar product of a = 5i + 2j – k and b = 3i – 4j + 4k and the angle between a and b in radians.
11. Let u = 3i + 2j – 5k and v = i – 7j + 4k. Find u • v and the angle between u and v in radians.
12. Let u = 4i + 7j – 2k and w = 8i – Pj + 2k. Find the value of P so that u and w are perpendicular.
13. Find the angle between the vectors 7i + 8j and –4i + 9j.
14. Two vectors are defined as a = 2i + xj and b = i – 4j. Find the value of x if the vectors are perpendicular.
15. Two vectors are defined as a = 2i + xj and b = i – 4j. Find the value of x if the vectors are parallel.
16. Find the value(s) for x for which the vectors xi + j – k and xi – 2xj – k are perpendicular.
17. P, Q and R are three point in space with the coordinates (2, -1, 4), (3, 1, 2) and (-1, 2, 5) respectively. Find angle Q in the triangle PQR.
