Section A · multiple choice

  1. 1.

    The point (−2, 9, 2) lies in octant:

    1. II
    2. VI
    3. VIII
    4. VII
    Answer

    (a) II

    signs (−, +, +)

  2. 2.

    The point (−8, 0, −2) lies on:

    1. the xz-plane
    2. the z-axis
    3. the yz-plane
    4. the x-axis
    Answer

    (a) the xz-plane

    look at which coordinates are zero

  3. 3.

    The distance between (3, 4, 8) and (2, −8, 20) is:

    1. 17
    2. 18
    3. 289
    4. 25
    Answer

    (a) 17

    √(1² + 12² + 12²) = √289

Section B · short answer

  1. 4.

    Find the distance between (1, 8, 7) and (4, 5, −2).

    Answer

    3√11

    √(3² + (−3)² + (−9)²) = √99

  2. 5.

    Show that the points A(1, 0, −8), B(0, 2, −6) and C(−3, 8, 0) are collinear.

    Answer

    AB = 3, BC = 9, AC = 12; AB + BC = AC, so they are collinear

    find the three distances

Section C · long answer

  1. 6.

    A triangle has vertices A(8, 1, −6), B(5, −3, −4) and C(1, 8, 5). Find AB, BC and CA. Is the triangle right-angled? Is it isosceles?

    Answer

    AB = √29, BC = √218, CA = √219. Not right-angled. Not isosceles.

    AB² = 29, BC² = 218, CA² = 219
