You have 3 hours to complete this final exam. There are nine problems (we suggest that you start with the ones you find the easiest). No books, no notes, no homework, no "cheat sheets", and no electronic devices are allowed (including calculators and cell phones of any kind). Please do your work on these sheets; you may use the back of each sheet if necessary. For full credit indicate your reasoning, show all of your work and write LEGIBLY. If you need more paper during the exam let us know, and write your name on it. Good luck!

Problem 1. (13 points total) Note: the following two questions are independent of each other.

(a) (8 points) Let a = (0,1, -1) and b = (2,1, 2). Find a vector c such that

• c = kb, for some scalar k #- 0 (that is, c is parallel to b),

• and (a - c) is perpendicular to b.

Drawing a picture (in 2 dimensions) illustrating the relations between a, band c may help.

(b) (5 points) Prove that:

IF a vector-valued function ret) is such that Ir(t)1 = c > 0 (a constant) for all t THEN the vector ret) is perpendicular to r'(t), for all t.

(Hint: it is always the case that ret) . ret) = Ir(t)l2).

For each answer you will receive:

• 3 points if your answer is correct;

• 0 points if it is wrong;

• 0 points if you provide no answer.
