1.9 Given vectors T = 2a, 6a, + 3a, and S + 2a,+ a₂, find: (a) the scalar projec- tion of T on S, (b) the vector projection of S on T, (c) the smaller angle between T and S. -
Problem 1.45. As an illustration of why it matters which variables you hold fixec when taking partial derivatives, consider the following mathematical example. Le w = ry and z = yz. (a) Write w purely in terms of x and z, and then purely in terms of y and z. (b) Compute the partial derivatives and and show that they are not equal. (Hint: To compute (ðu/dz)y, use i formula for w in terms of r and y, not z. Similarly, compute (ðu/ar}: from a formula for w in terms of only z and z.)
