Problem 1

Part A: Write down an equation of the line L that is passing through the point A(5,4) and is perpendicular to the vector n=<-3,4>.

Part B: Find the unit vector u in the direction of n.

Part C: Find the distance d(Q,L) from the point Q(7, 13) to line L.

Part D: Find the coordinates of the point R on L that is closest to the point Q.

Part E: Now find R by solving the distance minimization problem using single-variable calculus. Which approach do you prefer?

9. A line passing through the origin is described by the equation y = Mx, where M greater than or equal to 0 is a random slope. Let (theta) be the angle between this line and the horizontal axis, in the right side of the plane. Suppose that theta is uniformly distributed between 0 and 90 degrees (0 and pi/2 radians). What, then, is the pdf of M? What is the expected value of M?
