Integral Maths Vectors Topic Assessment — Answers

( \mathbfa \cdot \mathbfb = 2(1) + k(-2) + 3(4) = 2 - 2k + 12 = 14 - 2k = 0 ) ( 2k = 14 \Rightarrow k = 7 ). Quick Answer Summary (for checking) | Q# | Topic | Answer | |----|----------------------|--------------------------------| | 1 | Magnitude & unit vector | ( \sqrt29 ), ( \frac1\sqrt29(4,-3,2) ) | | 2 | Dot product / angle | ( \approx 94.8^\circ ) | | 3 | Line equation | ( (2,-1,3) + \lambda(3,2,-3) ) | | 4 | Intersection | Skew lines (no intersection) | | 5 | Perpendicular vectors | ( k = 7 ) | Note: Integral Maths changes the numbers slightly for different students sometimes. If your numbers differ, follow the same method – the structure is identical.

Direction vector ( \overrightarrowAB = \beginpmatrix 3 \ 2 \ -3 \endpmatrix ) Equation: ( \mathbfr = \beginpmatrix 2 \ -1 \ 3 \endpmatrix + \lambda \beginpmatrix 3 \ 2 \ -3 \endpmatrix ), ( \lambda \in \mathbbR ). Question 4 – Intersection of two lines Typical Q: ( L_1: \mathbfr = \beginpmatrix 1 \ 0 \ 2 \endpmatrix + s\beginpmatrix 2 \ -1 \ 1 \endpmatrix ), ( L_2: \mathbfr = \beginpmatrix 4 \ 2 \ 1 \endpmatrix + t\beginpmatrix 1 \ 1 \ -2 \endpmatrix ).

I’ve outlined the key steps. Question 1 – Vector magnitude and unit vectors Typical Q: Find ( |\mathbfa| ) given ( \mathbfa = 4\mathbfi - 3\mathbfj + 2\mathbfk ). integral maths vectors topic assessment answers

Lines are skew (no intersection). Check your given numbers carefully – mine showed no solution. Question 5 – Perpendicular vectors & constant finding Typical Q: ( \mathbfa = \beginpmatrix 2 \ k \ 3 \endpmatrix ), ( \mathbfb = \beginpmatrix 1 \ -2 \ 4 \endpmatrix ) are perpendicular. Find ( k ).

Let me know if you want me to post the full handwritten working for any question! ( \mathbfa \cdot \mathbfb = 2(1) + k(-2)

( \sqrt4^2 + (-3)^2 + 2^2 = \sqrt16 + 9 + 4 = \sqrt29 )
