BASUCHOUDHARY
Math 211 – Multivariate Calculus – Homework 3 (Section
12.5–12.6)

Due: Friday September 29th at 5pm

You may use the textbook and your notes, and you’re welcome to discuss the problems with one another or with me.
However, your final answers should be written on your own and in your own words.

At the top of the first page, please list any classmates you collaborated with while working on these exercises (so that we
know to expect similar solutions).

1. Which of the following lines are parallel? Are any of them identical?

L1 : x = 1 + 6t, y = 1 3t, z = 12t + 5

L2 : x = 1 + 2t, y = t, z = 1 + 4t
L3 : 2x 2=4 4y = z + 1
L4 : r = (3, 1, 5) + t(4, 2, 8).

2. (a) Find the distance from the point ( 6, 3, 5) to the plane with equation x 2y 4z = 8.

(b) Consider the planes with equations 6z = 4y
and find the distance between them.

3. Let L1 be the line through the points (1, 2, 6) and (2, 4, 8). Let L2 be the line of intersection between the plane
or P1 with equation x y + 2z + 1 = 0 and the plane P2 through the points (0, 0, 1), (3, 2, 1) and (1, 2, 1). Find
the distance between the lines L1 and L2 .
4. (a) Find an equation for the plane P meeting the x-axis at x = a, the y-axis at y = b and the z-axis at z = c.
(b) Suppose a line L passes through the point (p, 0, 0) and the point (0, q, 0). When is the line L parallel to
the plane P ?
(c) Under this condition, find the distance between the line L and the plane P .
5. Consider the surface defined by the equation

9x2 + 16y 2 + 9z 2 = 25.

(a) Sketch the intersection between this surface and the xy, xz and yz planes.

(b) Sketch the surface in R3 . Mark the coordinates of the points where |x|, |y| or |z| is maximized.
