27.

         (a)

         (b)

         (c)

         (d)

     Is it possible to have                                    ? Explain your reasoning.
28.

     If , is it valid to cancel u from both sides of the equation                         and conclude that
29. ? Explain your reasoning.

     Suppose that u, v, and w are mutually orthogonal nonzero vectors in 3-space, and suppose that
30. you know the dot products of these vectors with a vector r in 3-space. Find an expression for r in

     terms of u, v, w, and the dot products.

Hint Look for an expression of the form                            .

Suppose that u and v are orthogonal vectors in 2-space or 3-space. What famous theorem is

31. described by the equation                                  ? Draw a picture to support your answer.
