(b) the components: compa b = a b, a = .
Facts: (1) a, b = a a cos , where is the angle between vectors a and b.
(2) compa b is a vector parallel to a and b compa b is perpendicular to a.

2. (a) Write down the equation of the plane passing through (1, 2, 3) and per-

pendicular to .

4. (a) Determine the domain and the range of the function (, ) = + 12 . Explain
your work with reasons.
Solution. Domain of is {(, ) 2 }. And the range of is .
(b) Suppose that the -axis meets at point . Write down the equation of a
For any , we have ( 1, 1) = = .
line passing through and . (Hint: Rewrite the equation obtained in (a) as

interception form, i.e. + + = 1.
5. (a) If (, ) = 1+ 2 , then the domain of = . By the laws of

6. Evaluate the limits lim , and lim :
(g) 2 = 4 + 8 (h) 2 + 2 9 2 = 9 (i) 2 92 4 2 = 36 0 0
(j) 2 + 42 9 2 = 36 (k) 2 + 9 2 + 4 2 = 36 (l) = 42 + 9 2 .
Do (a), (b), (e), (f), (i) and (j) only. (a) (, ) = 2 + 3 , ( + , ) = ( + )2 + 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 , then
( + , ) (, ) 2 + 2
Solution. Rewrite the equation of the plane (a) in the interception form: lim = lim = lim =
0 0 0
/(20/3) + /10 + /2 = 1, then the plane meets the coordinte axii at the (, + ) (, )
lim = lim
following points: (20/3, 0, 0), (0, 10, 0), (0, 0, 2). The graph of the plane is 0 0

shown as follows: (b) (, ) = 2 4.
