The answers to most of the Exercises in the textbook are provided within the book itself. This Solutions Manual
provides many more of the answers where these are not given in the text, or where the authors have thought it may be
helpful to provide additional information. In particular we provide the solutions to many questions requiring graphical
answers and for which there was insucient room in the book itself.

(i) Let the vector (a, b, c) be perpendicular to (5, 3, 2). Then the scalar product of the two
vectors must be zero. Hence any vector which satises 5a + 3b 2c = 0 will be perpendicular
to (5, 3, 2). Take (1, 1, 4) for example. A unit vector is then 118 (1, 1, 4).
(ii) Let the vector (a, b, c) be perpendicular to (1, 4, 1). Then the scalar product of the two
vectors must be zero. Hence any vector which satises a + 4b + c = 0 will be perpendicular to
(1, 4, 1). Take (1, 0, 1) for example. A unit vector is then 12 (1, 0, 1).
(iii) The vector c d will be perpendicular to both c and d.

Comparing (1) and (2) the desired result follows.


5.
(a) y  = 6x2 + 6x 36.
(b) y  = 12x + 6.
(c) Set y  = 0. This gives x2 + x 6 = 0 from which x = 3, and x = 2. When x = 3,
y = 90. Furthermore y  is negative so the point is a maximum. When x = 2, y = 35. Here y 
is positive so we have a minimum.
(d) We look rst for points where y  = 0: i.e. x = 0.5. To the left of this point y  < 0. To
the right, y  > 0. So the concavity changes and x = 0.5 is a point of inexion. At this point
y = 27.5.
