Preface

This module contains review questions and answers keyed to the module titled GAME 2302-0120: Visualizing Column Matrices .

The questions and the answers are connected by hyperlinks to make it easy for you to navigate from the question to the answer and back again.

Questions

Question 1 .

True or False: The following equation is the equation of a straight line in two dimensions where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and the asteriskindicates multiplication:

y = m*x + b

Answer 1

Question 2

True or False: The following equation is the equation of a hyperbola in two dimensions where x^2 indicates x raised to the second power and k is they-intercept:

y = x^2 + k

Answer 2

Question 3

In this and other questions that follow, the upper-case T represents transpose, as shown by a superscript T in the Kjell tutorial.

True or False: Given that a and b are column matrices, the following equations are true:

a = (3,2)T

b = (-2,1)T

a + b = (5,3)T

Answer 3

Question 4

True or False: The addition of vectors depends on their location.

Answer 4

Question 5

Consider Figure 1 .

Figure 1 Question 5

True or False: A valid statement of the head-to-tail rule is:

Head-to-Tail Rule: Move vector v (keeping its length and orientation the same) until its tail touches the tail of u. The sum is the vector from the tail of u to the head of v.

Answer 5

Question 6

True or False: The head-to-tail rule works in both 2D and 3D.

Answer 6

Question 7

True or False: The associative rule applies to the addition of vectors in alldimensions.

Answer 7

Question 8

True or False: Vector addition is commutative, just like addition of real numbers.

Answer 8

Question 9

True or False: The commutative rule for vectors applies in all dimensions.

Answer 9

Question 10

True or False: A coordinate frame consists of a distinguished point P0 (called the origin) and an axis for each dimension (often called X and Y). In 2D space there are two axes; in 3D space there are three axes (often called X, Y, and Z).

Answer 10

Question 11

True or False: Points can be represented with column matrices independently of the coordinate frame.

Answer 11

Question 12

True or False: Because of the triangle inequality, the sum of two vectors is not necessarily the same as the sum of the lengths of the two vectors.

Answer 12

Question 13

True or False: A displacement vector added to a point results in a point.

Answer 11

False. The correct statement is:

Points can be represented with column matrices. To do this, you first need to decide on a coordinate frame (sometimes called just frame).
