Chapter 1, Problem 1RQ

Mark each of the following statements true or false:

  1. For vectors  u , v ,  and  w  in  n ,  if  u + w = v + w  then  u = v .

  2. For vectors  u , v ,  and  w  in  n ,  if  u w = v w ,  then  u = v

  3. For vectors  u , v ,  and  w  in  3 ,  if  u  is orthogonal   to  v ,  and  v  is orthogonal to  w ,  then  u  is orthogonal   to  w  

  4. In 3 ,  if a line  l  is parallel to a plane  P ,  then a di-   rection vector  d  for  l  is parallel to a normal vector   n for  P .

  5. In  3 ,  if a line  l  is perpendicular to a plane  P ,  then   a direction vector  d  for  l  is a parallel to a normal   vector  n  for  P  

  6. 3 ,  if two planes are not parallel, then they must   intersect in a line

  7. In  3 ,  if two lines are not parallel, then they must   intersect in a point

  8. If  v  is a binary vector such that  v v = 0  , then  v = 0  

  9. In 5 ,  if  a b = 0  then either  a = 0  or  b = 0  

  10. ln 6 ,  if  a b = 0  then either  a = 0  or  b = 0

To determine

Whether the statement, “if u+w=v+w, then u=v” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The statement is true.

Explanation of Solution

Given that, u+w=v+w

adding (-w) to both the sides, we get

         u+w+-w=v+w+(-w)

or,    u+w-w=v+w-w                        using associative property

or,    u+0=v+0

or,    u=v

Thus, u=v.

Therefore, the given statement is true.

(b)

Expert Solution

To determine

Whether the statement, “if uw=vw, then u=v” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The statement is false.

Explanation of Solution

The given statement is false as the below example disproves the given statement.

Consider the vectors  u=1,1,1,   v=1,0,1  and w=(1,0,0).

uw=1,1,11,0,0=11+10+10=1

vw=1,0,11,0,0=11+00+10=1

Thus, uw=vw   but  uv.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the statement, “if u is orthogonal to v, and v is orthogonal to w, then u is 

orthogonal to w ” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The statement is false.

Explanation of Solution

The given statement is false as the below example disproves the given statement.

Consider the vectors  u=1,0,0,   v=0,0,1  and w=(2,0,0).

uv=1,0,00,0,1=10+00+01=0

as uv=0, thus u is orthogonal to v.

vw=0,0,12,0,0=02+00+10=0

as vw=0, thus v is orthogonal to w.

uw=1,0,02,0,0=12+00+00=2

as uv=20, thus u is not orthogonal to w.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

(d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the statement, “if a line l is parallel to plane P, then a direction vector d for l is 

parallel to normal vector n for P ” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The statement is false.

Explanation of Solution

The given statement is false as the below statement disproves the given statement.

if a line l is parallel to plane P, then a direction vector d for l is orthogonal to 

normal vector n for P

Mathematically,  dn=0

Therefore, the given statement is false.

(e)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the statement, “if a line l is perpendicular to plane P, then a direction vector d 

for l is parallel to normal vector n for P ” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The statement is true.

Explanation of Solution

As the line line l is perpendicular to plane P, therefore the direction vector of 

the line and normal vector of the plane must be parallel to each other.

Therefore, the given statement is true.

(f)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the statement, “if two planes are not parallel, then they must intersect 

in a line” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The statement is true.

Explanation of Solution

Two planes always intersect in a line, as long as they are not parallel.

Therefore, the given statement is true.

(g)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the statement, “if two lines are not parallel, then they must intersect 

in a point” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The statement is false.

Explanation of Solution

The given statement is false as the below example disproves the given statement.

Skew lines are non-parallel lines that do not intersect each other.

For example,  consider the Z-axis and the line x+y=2,   z=0. 

Both the lines are not parallel to each other, and they do not intersect at any point. 

Therefore, the given statement is false.

(h)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the statement, “if v is a binary vector such that vv=0, then v=0” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The statement is false.

Explanation of Solution

The given statement is false as the below example disproves the given statement.

Consider the binary vector v=1,1,0

We know that, for binary vectors  1+1=0

Thus, vv=1,1,01,1,0=11+11+00=1+1=0 

But,  v0 

Therefore, the given statement is false.

(i)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the statement, “In Z5, if ab=0 then either a=0 or b=0.” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The statement is true.

Explanation of Solution

We can prove the above statement by proving that Z5 does not have zero divisors.

Here, Z5=0,1,2,3,4.

Now, 01=0, 02=0, 03=0, 04=0, 12=2, 13=3, 14=4,

  23=1, 24=3, 34=2.

Thus, there does not exist zero divisors.

Hence, in Z5, if ab=0 then either a=0 or b=0.

Therefore, the given statement is true.

(j)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the statement, “In Z6, if ab=0 then either a=0 or b=0.” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The statement is false.

Explanation of Solution

Counter Example:

Let a=3, b=2Z6.

Now, ab=6=0 in Z6, but neither a0 nor b0.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
