Set A is an open square defined by |a−5|<1 and |b−5|<1; set B is a filled ellipse. Determine whether A⊂B, B⊂A, or neither, by checking the square's corners against the ellipse.
Prove that a+b+c makes equal angles with each of a, b, c when a, b, c are three mutually perpendicular vectors of the same magnitude, using dot products.
Lines AB: x+y−2=0 and AC: 3y−x=2 meet the x-axis at B and C. Find the area of triangle CPB, where P is the orthocentre of triangle ABC.
A line L through P(2,−1,3) is perpendicular to two given lines. Find where L meets the yz-plane and the distance PQ, using the cross product for L’s direction.
The locus |(z−2)/(z−3)|=2 in the complex plane is a circle with center (α,β) and radius γ. Find 3(α+β+γ) by converting to Cartesian form.
Circle C passes through (4,0) and touches x²+y²+4x−6y=12 externally at (1,−1). Find C’s radius using the tangent-point-lies-on-the-line-of-centres property.
