1. 𝑎 ∙ 𝑏 = 0. ✓
𝑖 𝑗 𝑘
2. |𝑎 × 𝑏| = |𝑎1 𝑎2 𝑎3 | = 𝑖 (𝑎2 𝑏3 − 𝑎3 𝑏2 ) − 𝑗( 𝑎1 𝑏3 − 𝑎3 𝑏1 ) + 𝑘 ( 𝑎1 𝑏2 − 𝑎2 𝑏1 )
𝑏1 𝑏2 𝑏3
= 〈𝑎2 𝑏3 − 𝑎3 𝑏2 , −𝑎1 𝑏3 + 𝑎3 𝑏1 , 𝑎1 𝑏2 − 𝑎2 𝑏1 〉✓✓.
𝑎∙𝑏 〈2,1,4 〉∙〈1,−2,5 〉 20
3. |𝑏|
= |〈1,−2,5 〉|
= . ✓✓
√30
4. Fermat’s theorem. ✓✓
5. 𝑓 ′ (𝑥 ) = cos 𝑥 − sin 𝑥 ✓ = 0
cos 𝑥 = sin 𝑥 ⇒ tan 𝑥 = 1
tan 𝑥 is positive in the 1st and 3rd quadrants, therefore,
𝜋 𝜋 5𝜋
𝑥= ✓and 𝑥 = 𝜋 + = ✓.

Tutorial Test 4C
1. 𝑎 ∙ (𝑏 × 𝑐). ✓
2.1 True✓0.5. 𝑏 × 𝑐 is a vector, so we can compute the dot product of two vectors. ✓0.5
2.2 False✓0.5. 𝑏 ∙ 𝑐 is a scalar and we cannot compute the dot product between a scalar and a
vector✓0.5.
