Math 221: Study Guide - Chapter 12

  1. Describe the surface whose equation is given. Look at problems 12.1.13-18.
  2. Find parametric equations for the lines described. Two parts. Look at problems 12.5.3-4, 11-18.
  3. Find the angle between two vectors. Look at example 2 in 12.3.
  4. Find the equation of the plane passing through the given point with the given normal vector. Look at problems 12.6.3-6.
  5. Find the point of intersection of the line and the plane. Look at problems 12.6.17-18.
  6. Find the distance between the point and the plane. Look at problems 12.6.39-40.
  7. Convert from rectangular coordinates to cylindrical coordinates. Look at problems 12.8.1-2.
  8. Convert between spherical coordinates and rectangular coordinates. Look at example 4 in 12.8.
  9. Convert the equation from cylindrical coordiantes into rectangular coordinates. Look at problems 12.8.15-21.
  10. Convert the equation from spherical coordinates into rectangular coordinates. Look at problems 12.8.23-30.
  11. Find the volume of the parallelpiped with the given adjacent sides. Look at problems 12.4.21-22.
  12. Identify whether the trace of the surface in the given place is a circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola. Three parts. Look at problems 12.7.9-10.
  13. Identify, but do not sketch, the quadric surface. Six parts. Look at problems 12.7.11-22.
