Homework 8
1. Consider the following union of parallel lines:

X = {(x, y) : x ∈ R, y ∈ Q} ⊂ R2 .

Is X a 1-dimensional manifold?

2. Show the equivalence of the three definitions for one of the following manifolds:

(a) implicit curve x2 + y 2 = 1, z 2 + w2 = 1, xz + yw = 0,

(b) parametric surface (sin θ cos ϕ, sin θ sin ϕ, 2 cos θ), 0 < θ < π, 0 < ϕ < 2π

3. (a) Show that

X = {(x, y, z) : (x2 + y 2 + z 2 )2 − 10(x2 + y 2 ) + 6z 2 + 9 = 0}.

is a 2-manifold.

(b) Check that (x, y, z) ∈ X if and only if ( x2 + y 2 − 2)2 + z 2 = 1. Use this to sketch X.
(c) Find a parametrization of X.
